⭕️What Did Trump Actually Say?

President Trump announced on social media and during a public address that new "reciprocal" tariffs will take effect at midnight (04:00 GMT) targeting more than 90 countries.

He claimed that as a result, “billions of dollars” would begin flowing into the U.S.—implying that the tariffs will generate substantial revenue and boost trade balance.

🔵What Does It Mean?

* “Reciprocal tariffs” here means tariffs imposed by the U.S. intended to match or penalize trade barriers imposed by other countries—even if those barriers are lower—essentially claiming fairness in trade

* These tariffs range widely—from around 10% up to nearly 50% depending on the country (e.g., India facing up to 50%)

* Trump frames the move as rebalancing trade, protecting U.S. industries, and bringing revenue home.

🟢Market Impact

1. Global Trade Disruption

Tariffs of this magnitude can cause supply chain instability and uncertainty across industries. Many countries have already raised alarms or begun retaliatory moves

2. Consumer Prices May Rise

Economists warn that tariffs act like a tax on imports—costs often get passed to consumers, affecting goods from electronics to food

3. Stock Market Volatility

Past announcements of sweeping tariffs triggered sharp market reactions. For instance, after Trump introduced broad reciprocal tariffs in April, equity indices plunged significantly—S&P 500 dropped nearly 5% in one session Similar warnings of instability apply now.

4. Revenue vs. Economic Pain

While the administration highlights revenue gains ("billions flowing in"), business leaders caution that long-term effects like slowed job growth, lower exports, and inflation could outweigh short-term gains
