Washington - February 13, 2025: In a surprising move that may escalate global trade tensions, U.S. President Donald Trump announced today the imposition of new tariffs, calling this day the "big day."

In a post on his platform, Trump noted that these tariffs would be "reciprocal," indicating that they target countries that impose fees on American exports. He has not yet revealed specific details regarding the sectors or countries that will be affected by these measures.

This announcement comes at a time when trade relations between the United States and its traditional partners are experiencing tension, particularly following reports of Washington's intent to reconsider major trade agreements.

Eyes are now on international reactions, amid fears of a new trade war that could impact global markets. Affected countries are expected to issue official statements in the coming hours, while investors are awaiting clearer details regarding the scope of these tariffs.

Could this decision mark the beginning of a new phase of economic tensions? The coming days will reveal much.
