Global response: a third of the global economy has imposed duties against the United States

The United States is opposed by China and the EU, but not everyone there is ready for confrontation.

On April 10, Trump postponed the introduction of duties for 90 days for 75 countries due to the panic of citizens. Bessent, in turn, clarified that almost 70 countries have contacted the presidential administration with a request to hold negotiations on the issue of the duties imposed. According to him, he and U.S. Trade Representative Jamison Greer are currently negotiating with representatives from Japan.
