Liberation Day tariffs: U.S. President Donald Trump announces sweeping worldwide tariffs.

The Liberation Day tariffs are a broad package of import duties announced by U.S. President Donald Trump on April 2, 2025—a date he called "Liberation Day". In a White House Rose Garden ceremony, Trump signed Executive Order 14257, Regulating Imports With a Reciprocal Tariff to Rectify Trade Practices That Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade Deficits. This order declared a national emergency over the United States' trade deficit and invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to authorize sweeping tariffs on foreign imports.

Donald John Trump is an American politician, media personality, and businessman who is the 47th president of the United States. A member of the Republican Party, he served as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021.

April 2 is the 92nd day of the year in the Gregorian calendar; 273 days remain until the end of the year.
