Yesterday, April 3, 2025, the world wakes up to a bombshell: Donald Trump's “Liberation Day” is a reality! 🎉 The U.S. President signed an executive order imposing reciprocal tariffs on over 180 countries, with a baseline of 10% on all imports and peaks of up to 54% on giants like China (Reuters). It’s an economic earthquake that promises to “bring industry back to America” and is already shaking the markets: the dollar collapses and Wall Street trembles (-1.8% S&P 500, data from Reuters). But what does it really mean? Get ready, because this is epic! 🚀
A masterstroke against the deficit! ⚡
Trump calls it “the day of liberation”: an attack on U.S. trade deficits, which reached $947 billion in 2024 (U.S. Census Bureau). China gets an extra 34% (on an existing 20%), the EU 20%, India 26%, and Japan 24% (NBC News). On X, @realDonaldTrump tweets: “We will no longer be robbed! Today America is reborn!”. And the numbers back him up: the Treasury expects extra revenues of $500 billion a year (White House). Forget taxes, this is a game-changer! 💰
Markets in turmoil, but some are winning! 📉📈
The “Liberation Day” has thrown global markets into disarray: the FTSE 100 UK loses 1.6%, Vietnam crashes 6.8% (The Independent). But not everyone is crying: shares of U.S. companies like Apple (+2%) and Nvidia (+1.5%) soar, with promises of domestic investments of $10 billion (Yahoo Finance). On X, @marketslive says: “High tariffs, but U.S. big tech is laughing!”. And crypto? BTC holds at $82,146 (-3.2%), but volume skyrockets to $142 billion (+12%, CoinMarketCap): the market is alive! 🔥
A world reacting: is a trade war on the horizon? 🌍
China promises retaliation on a total of 54%, the EU is studying tariffs on U.S. tech, and Brazil approves a reciprocity law (TIME). But Trump doesn’t stop: “If they hit us, we hit back harder!” (Xinhua). Only Canada and Mexico are exempted thanks to the USMCA, while small countries like Lesotho (50%) and Cambodia (49%) suffer (Sky News). On X, @EconWatcher warns: “Risk of a tariff spiral, but America could come out stronger”. Who will win? 🤔
