Trump imposes 10% tariff on all countries, reciprocal levies on trading partners

United States President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing reciprocal tariffs on trading partners and a 10% baseline tariff on all imports from all countries. The reciprocal levies on will be approximately half of what trading partners charge for US imports, Trump said. For example, China currently has a tariff of 67% on US imports, so US reciprocal tariffs on Chinese goods will be 34%. Trump also announced a standard 25% tariff on all automobile imports. Trump told the media that tariffs would return the country to economic prosperity seen in previous centuries: “From 1789 to 1913, we were a tariff-backed nation. The United States was proportionately the wealthiest it has ever been. So wealthy, in fact, that in the 1880s, they established a commission to decide what they were going to do with the vast sums of money they were collecting.” “Then, in 1913, for reasons unknown to mankind, they established the income tax so that citizens, rather than foreign countries, would start paying,” Trump said.

Trump proposes eliminating federal income tax and replacing it with tariff revenue Trump proposed the idea of abolishing the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and funding the federal government exclusively through trade tariffs while still on the campaign trail in October 2024. According to accounting automation company Dancing Numbers, Trump's plan could save each American taxpayer $134,809-$325,561 in taxes throughout their lives.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who assumed office in February , also voiced support for replacing the IRS with the “External Revenue Service.” Lutnick said that the US government cannot balance a budget yet consistently demands more from its citizens every year. Tariffs will also protect American workers and strengthen the US economy, he said. Magazine: Elon Musk’s plan to run government on blockchain faces uphill battle
