US President Trump's reciprocal tariff policy has officially taken effect

<Odaily> White House officials stated that the additional 104% tariff on China has taken effect at noon Eastern Time, and the 104% additional tariff will begin to be collected from April 9. (Bloomberg)

White House officials said they plan to impose an additional 104% tariff on China starting April 9

Last week on April 2nd at 4 PM Eastern Time (after the US stock market closed), <Trump> announced his "reciprocal tariff" plan.

He calculated the new "reciprocal" tariff rate by dividing the main trading partners' trade surplus with the US from last year by their total commodity exports, and then dividing the result by two.

What is the logic? It doesn't matter.

They just need an excuse to start a fight.

Subsequently, global markets, including crypto assets, fell into a bloody storm.

The current market's expectation of <Trump's> tariff plan is murky: whether the additional tariffs are a long-term national policy of the <Trump> team or just a negotiation tactic...

Comment: How to understand Trump’s madness? But it's just for votes.
