Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mad as Fish" data-source="post: 130540" data-attributes="member: 396">Trump imposing such a wide sweeping range of stiff tariffs upon the rest of the world is akin to lobbing a hand grenade into aunty's fish pond, what will we see dead in the water and and how is the remaining ecology going to adapt?The BBC, for all its faults, published a brief summaryIn a background call before Trump's speech, a senior White House official told reporters that the president would impose a "baseline" tariff on all imports to the US.That rate is set at 10% and will go into effect on 5 April.It is the companies that bring the foreign goods into the US that have to pay the tax to the government, although this could have knock-on effects to consumers.Some countries will only face the base rate. These include:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">United Kingdom</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Singapore</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Brazil</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Australia</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">New Zealand</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Turkey</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Colombia</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Argentina</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">El Salvador</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">United Arab Emirates</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Saudi Arabia</li> </ul><h2>Custom tariffs for 'worst offenders'</h2>White House officials also said that they would impose what they describe as specific reciprocal tariffs on roughly 60 of the "worst offenders".These will go into effect on 9 April.Trump's officials say these countries charge higher tariffs on US goods, impose "non-tariff" barriers to US trade or have otherwise acted in ways they feel undermine American economic goals.The key trading partners subject to these customised tariff rates include:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">European Union: 20%</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">China: 54%</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Vietnam: 46%</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Thailand: 36%</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Japan: 24%</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cambodia: 49%</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">South Africa: 30%</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Taiwan: 32%</li> </ul>For the time being Canada and Mexico are not affected by any further tariffs.[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1jxrnl9xe2o[/URL]</blockquote>
