Trump's Liberation Day Announcement
President Trump declared April 2, 2025, as Liberation Day for the United States, emphasizing a rejuvenation of American manufacturing and industry. He accused foreign nations of exploiting and plundering the U.S. economy for decades, leading to significant economic losses for American workers. His administration plans to impose sweeping reciprocal tariffs on various imports from countries like Australia, Europe, Canada, China, and India. This strategy aims to bring jobs and factories back to the U.S. while potentially generating massive revenue to offset the national debt.
