Donald Trump is expected to announce mutual tariffs to the trade partners of the White House Rose Garden in GMT at 20:00 GMT. Although the percentage of duty implemented to US trade partners is unknown, Washington Post Trump’s assistants are considering a plan of about 20% from almost every country.
