Trump to deliver ‘Liberation Day’ announcement from Rose Garden flanked by Cabinet members

President Donald Trump is set to make a significant announcement on tariffs in what he has dubbed as “Liberation Day” from the Rose Garden on Wednesday afternoon. The highly anticipated event will see Trump unveil his tariff plan that aims to reduce the U.S.’s reliance on goods manufactured overseas.

The President, alongside members of his Cabinet, will gather in the White House’s Rose Garden at 4 p.m. for the event. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt described Wednesday as “Liberation Day in America,” emphasizing the importance of the tariff plan in rectifying unfair trade practices that have disadvantaged the U.S. for decades.

Trump has been promoting April 2 as America’s “Liberation Day” for weeks and is expected to announce reciprocal tariffs on foreign nations that export goods to the U.S. The specifics of the tariff plan have been kept under wraps, but it is anticipated that the tariffs will level the playing field for the U.S. in terms of trade policy.

In a recent statement, Trump mentioned that the tariff plan will bring wealth back to the country and rectify the trade imbalances that have persisted for years. The administration believes that imposing tariffs on foreign nations will incentivize industries to establish manufacturing operations within the U.S., leading to job creation for American workers.

White House trade advisor Peter Navarro has projected that the new tariffs could generate $600 billion annually for the U.S., amounting to $6 trillion over the next decade. The President has reiterated that the tariffs will apply to all countries and that the U.S. will be fairer in its trade practices compared to how it has been treated in the past.

Despite concerns about the potential impact of the tariffs on the cost of goods for Americans, the White House remains confident in the plan’s success. Leavitt assured reporters that the tariff plan is well-researched and will ultimately benefit the U.S. economy.

As the nation awaits Trump’s tariff announcement, there is a sense of anticipation and uncertainty surrounding the potential implications of the new trade policy. The President’s commitment to restoring America’s manufacturing prowess and addressing trade imbalances will be put to the test as the details of the tariff plan are unveiled.
