Trump orders up reciprocal plan for more tariffs, even as inflation heats up
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump doubled down on his extraordinary push for more balanced trade, ordering on Thursday that agencies should investigate plans for new reciprocal tariffs that could boost America’s revenue — but could also ignite a global trade war and add to America’s rebounding inflation problem.Howard Lutnick, Trump’s Commerce Secretary nominee, said he anticipates the investigation will be complete by April 1.
