Trump: Tariffs on imported agricultural products will begin on April 2

Odaily reports that Trump stated on social media that the US will impose tariffs on "external" agricultural products starting from April 2nd, which is his latest threat to erect trade barriers on imported goods. Trump said: "To our great American farmers: Get ready to start PLANTING your crops, as the new TRADE DEAL makes it possible for you to do business again. Starting on April 2nd, we will be imposing tariffs on external products." Trump did not specify which products will be affected, nor did he mention if there will be any exceptions. It is unclear whether his plan is part of his previously announced effort to impose so-called "reciprocal" tariffs on nearly all of America's trading partners. (Jinshi)
