US President Donald Trump has finally announced his so-called "liberation day" tariffs, which could spark a global trade war.
Before signing the executive order on Wednesday night, he said the measures would "make America wealthy again" adding that "this is one of the most important days, in my opinion, in American history".
Speaking in the Rose Garden at the White House, he said the new tariffs would be "reciprocal".
"That means they do it to us and we do it to them," he said. "Very simple. Can’t get any simpler than that."
