美상호관세, 2일 트럼프 발표 즉시 발효 관세전쟁 글로벌 확대 U.S. President Donald Trump's upcoming tariffs are a day away, and they will go into effect as soon he announces the details. Our Lee Soo-jin has the details. U.S. President Donald Trump's pending tariffs will go into effect immediately after they are announced, according to a White House spokesperson on Tuesday local time. "My understanding is that the, tariff announcement will come tomorrow. They will be effective immediately. He is with his trade and tariff team right now, perfecting it to make sure this is a perfect deal for the American people and the American worker." The tariffs are set to be announced by Trump at a Rose Garden ceremony at 4 PM Eastern Time on April 2nd, which is 5 AM on the 3rd here in Korea. He has repeatedly touted April 2nd as "Liberation Day", as he believes that his policies will free American industries from what he calls “unfair trade practices.” And according to U.S. media outlets including the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, the Trump administration is considering various tariff strategies. One is imposing a 20 percent flat tariff on all imports, another is assigning each country a reciprocal tariff 'number' that corresponds to tariffs and other trade barriers on U.S. products. And the U.S. Trade Representative is also considering a third option, where levies likely to be lower than the universal 20 percent would be imposed on a wide range of imports from select countries. For South Korea, these tariffs are expected to add further pressure as they come amid a wave of other tariffs, such as the 25 percent auto tariffs set to go into effect on April 2nd and collected the following day. And just last month, the Trump administration imposed sweeping 25 percent tariffs on aluminum and steel. But despite the country's leadership vacuum, the Korean government is holding various emergency meetings to come up with response measures. Acting president Han Duck-soo on Tuesday,.. along with the industry, finance and foreign ministers, met with heads of Korea's top four conglomerates, Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor, SK,.. and LG, where Han pledged to continue high-level U.S. outreach and to work with the private sector to respond to the challenges posed by the tariffs.
