Trump’s first tranche of tariffs comes into effect, hitting over 90 countries | World News

US President Donald Trump’s sweeping set of tariffs targeting more than 90 countries came into force just after midnight Thursday, marking a significant escalation in the trade offensive. “It’s midnight! Billions of dollars in tariffs are now flowing into the United States of America!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
In an earlier post on Wednesday, Trump had said: “Reciprocal tariffs take effect at midnight tonight! Billions of dollars, largely from countries that have taken advantage of the United States for many years, laughing all the way, will start flowing into the USA.”
