'Tariffs will be implemented immediately'

The White House said on Tuesday that President Trump's much-anticipated tariffs are going to take effect sooner than many expected. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said Trump is in close discussions with his trade team to finalize the strategy and the retaliatory tariffs will go into effect on Wednesday.

According to the report, this time America does not seem to be in a mood to give any exemption to anyone. The White House said that the retaliatory tariffs will come into effect immediately, while the car tariffs will come into effect from April 3, while these tariffs will not be applicable on products made in America.

News agency ANI quoted a CNN report as saying that some White House officials were surprised when Trump agreed to a comprehensive new tariff plan. This clearly means that if President Trump has indeed taken a final decision regarding tariffs, then the information has not been shared widely with anyone.
