White House aides are preparing to impose new tariffs on most imports on
April 2, laying the groundwork for an escalation in global economic
hostilities that President Donald Trump has called “Liberation Day.”
Through his first two months in office, the president has raised tariffs
on roughly $800 billion in imports from China, Mexico and Canada, although estimates vary widely. These tariffs have sent the stock market careening
and raised the risks of a U.S. recession, while inviting retaliation
against domestic industries by trade partners.
Despite the blowback, senior Trump advisers are now publicly pledging to
create a new tariff regime that would impose new duties on goods from most countries that trade with the United States. A person familiar with
internal planning, speaking on the condition of anonymity to reflect
private deliberations, confirmed administration officials are preparing
tariffs on “trillions” of dollars in imports.
The potential to more than double the scope of Trump’s tariffs has alarmed economists and some congressional Republicans, while other White House
allies are concerned about the logistical challenges of a complicated new import tax regime. The precise nature of these new duties has spurred
extensive discussions at the highest levels of the administration, with
Vice President JD Vance, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, White House
aide Peter Navarro and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent all playing a role
in the talks, the person familiar with the plans said.
