00:00Now, President Donald Trump has unveiled his plans to target countries with new reciprocal
00:05tariffs, doubling down on his push for more balanced trade and to boost U.S. investment.
00:12He signed a memo instructing staff to develop customs tariffs for each country, promising
00:19to target nations which charge tax on the U.S. imports by matching them.
00:24Let's take a look at what he had to say.
00:28And on trade, I have decided for purposes of fairness that I will charge a reciprocal
00:34tariff, meaning whatever countries charge the United States of America, we will charge
00:39them.
00:40No more, no less.
00:42In other words, they charge us a tax or tariff and we charge them the exact same tax or tariff.
00:50Very simple.
00:51In addition, we will make a provision for subsidies provided by countries in order to
00:57take economic advantage of the United States, which a lot of countries do, including our
01:03allies.
01:04Our allies, in many cases, are worse than our enemies in this having to do with trade.
