“Maybe around April 2. I would have done it on April 1. I am a bit superstitious. We literally planned it on April 1. I said, let’s do it on April 2. Do you know how much it would cost? It would cost a lot of money just for one day. But we will do it on April 2, “he told reporters from the Oval Office.
This measure is the last in a commercial war that grows rapidly, since Trump continues to fulfill its Electoral promises to impose tariffs To all, both allies and rivals from the US, as collected by the Bloomberg agency.
