On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump warned to apply an additional tariff of 50% on imports of Chinese products if the rival nation doesn’t withdraw the stated plan of imposing a retaliatory import tariff of 34% against the United States of America.
As per the latest reports, Wall Street has experienced a major blow amid the ongoing tariff war. Moreover, top economists warn the nation of a potential block on the economic growth of the nation. Further, this could lead to a potential recession during the upcoming time.
This analysis was made by the experts due to the structure of the tariffs. Ideally, the importers are liable to pay the tariffs, leading them to pass it to their consumers. This results in the price of the product rising to unnecessary highs and further increasing the possibility of a major market crash.
Donald Trump Threatens China To Impose Higher Tariff!
Through a post on the “Truth Social app,” Mr. Donald J Trump wrote that “Any country that plans to go against the U.S. by issuing additional Tariffs, will be considered as abusing of our Nation. This will result in them meeting with new and substantially higher Tariffs immediately, higher than the initial set.”
Furthermore, adding to that, he quotes, “If China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long-term trading abuses of tariffs by tomorrow which is 08th April 2025, the United States will impose “ADDITIONAL Tariffs” on Beijing of 50%, effective 09th April 2025.”
On 2nd April, during Liberation Day, Trump imposed a 34% tariff on Chinese imports which is set to go into effect on 09th April. Notably, Beijing announced that it would add a 34% tariff on imports of all U.S. products beginning 10th April in order to retaliate from Trump’s tariff scheme.
Larry Fink Predicts A Recession!
Larry Fink, the Chief Operating Officer (CEO) of the giant BlackRock asset management firm has recently recorded a statement saying that “we are probably in a recession right now.”
This raises serious alarms as the U.S. stock market has wiped off Trillions from its valuation since the Trump tariff has kickstarted. Notably, if a solution is not rolled out soon, this could not only pull the valuation of the wallstreet, but the world market could be impacted negatively at a great level.
