For weeks, President Donald Trump has promoted April 2 as “Liberation Day” in America, when a number of massive tariffs will be announced to fulfill the administration’s ambitious economic agenda. The plan has largely remained a mystery, however, as Trump and his administration have floated a number of constantly changing and conflicting proposals. Now we know a little more about what to expect. A very little bit: We now know how it will be announced. Maybe. Trump will unveil his tariff plan on Wednesday in his first Rose Garden press conference of his second term, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Monday. The cabinet will be present for the event, she said.

Trump To Announce Sweeping Tariffs On ‘Liberation Day,’ Sparking Global Economic Tensions

President Donald Trump is expected to announce a broad slate of new tariffs on Wednesday — dubbed “Liberation Day” by the White House — in a move that’s already sending shockwaves through global markets and escalating trade tensions with key allies and adversaries alike. The administration has yet to release full details of the plan, including which sectors or products will be affected, or when the levies will go into effect. But Trump made clear during an impromptu press gaggle aboard Air Force One that the tariffs will be expansive — targeting “essentially all of the countries that we’re talking about.”
