Trump vows higher tariffs on countries that ‘play games’ with existing trade deals
On the day that Trump announced the IEEPA tariffs last April, the tariffs on his products went from zero to 30%, Smeaton told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. Afterwards, they went up to 100%, then 145%, and eventually a rate of 30% was paid. This later changed to 20% and, for a few hours on Friday after the ruling, it was zero again, then up to 10%, and on Saturday, 15%.
