Trump aides prep new tariffs on imports worth trillions for 'Liberation Day'

White House aides are preparing to impose new tariffs on most imports on 
April 2, laying the groundwork for an escalation in global economic 
hostilities that President Donald Trump has called “Liberation Day.”

Through his first two months in office, the president has raised tariffs 
on roughly $800 billion in imports from China, Mexico and Canada, although 
estimates vary widely. These tariffs have sent the stock market careening 
and raised the risks of a U.S. recession, while inviting retaliation 
against domestic industries by trade partners.

Despite the blowback, senior Trump advisers are now publicly pledging to 
create a new tariff regime that would impose new duties on goods from most 
countries that trade with the United States. A person familiar with 
internal planning, speaking on the condition of anonymity to reflect 
private deliberations, confirmed administration officials are preparing 
tariffs on “trillions” of dollars in imports.

The potential to more than double the scope of Trump’s tariffs has alarmed 
economists and some congressional Republicans, while other White House 
allies are concerned about the logistical challenges of a complicated new 
import tax regime. The precise nature of these new duties has spurred 
extensive discussions at the highest levels of the administration, with 
Vice President JD Vance, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, White House 
aide Peter Navarro and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent all playing a role 
in the talks, the person familiar with the plans said.
