The stocks slide in Asia with the windows of importing the new United States

The stock markets in Asia decreased after President Donald Trump suggested that a new tariff is scheduled to be announced this week will strike all countries, and not only those that have the largest commercial imbalances with the United States.

Trump made comments preparing to reveal a huge list of import taxes on Wednesday, while he called the American “Liberation Day”.

The measures on the customs duties that Washington have already imposed on aluminum, steel and vehicles will come, in addition to increasing fees on all goods from China.

“You start with all countries,” Trump told reporters in the Air Force. “All the countries we are talking about mainly.

But he said that his administration would be “more generous” and “kindness” than the countries that were in the United States.

With the passage of 48 hours before the definitions entered into force, the UK is still closed in talks with the United States on exemption.

On Sunday, Downing Street said that Prime Minister Sir Kerr Starmer had “fruitful negotiations” with Trump In a phone call, in addition to the conversations “will continue at the pace.”

On Saturday, government sources said this The United Kingdom will not hesitate to impose its own tariff On the United States, if necessary.

Other judicial states, such as the European Union and Canada, have said that it is preparing a set of reprisal trade measures.

Kevin Haysit, director of the National Economic Council, told Fox Business that the customs tariff will focus on 10 to 15 countries that have the worst commercial deficit with the United States, but it did not call it.

Trump sees commercial taxes – which American companies will pay in this case – as a way to protect the American economy from unfair competition and the hardship of bargaining to obtain better trading conditions.

Fears about trade war are worrying markets and create fears of stagnation in the United States.

On Monday, the Japanese NIKKEI 225 class closed with more than 4 % less, KOSPI ends in South Korea today by 3 % and ASX 200 decreased in Australia by 1.7 %.

In the UK, the FTSE 100 index opened 0.9 % lower, while the DAX index in Germany and CAC 40 from France decreased by 1 %.

During the weekend, Trump’s advisers repeated his view that the planned definitions may collect trillion dollars and help create job opportunities in the United States.

The best trade consultant, Beit Navarro, pointed to huge revenues that he said the definitions will be raised.

Mr. Navarro said that the tax on all car imports may collect $ 100 billion (77.3 billion pounds) per year. He added that all planned definitions may collect $ 600 billion annually, or about five of the total number of goods in the United States.

Last week, the White House facts paper suggested that a 10 % tariff on each import could create nearly three million American jobs.

However, there are concerns that the customs tariff can support inflation – which Trump has pledged to reduce during his presidential campaign – if companies choose to transfer the high cost of importing goods to their customers.

If companies capture the cost, if they can make profit, it may in turn affect investment.

The US definitions create uncertainty.

Whereas, at the present time, Brompton products do not face additional taxes, but people who explain definitions try to determine the amount of steel in products that may come from outside the United States, which may lead to customs tariffs.

“The truth is that we do not do [know] In fact and people who are on the border who import goods to the United States do not really really understand how some of these definitions can be placed. “

About 10 % of Brompton sales come from the United States, as they have grown from four to 40 people and have stores in New York and Washington.

But Mr. Bater Adams said that the definitions may be “opposite”.

“Ironically, if taxes are placed, it will make our products less competitive,” he said.

“We will not continue to invest in the same way that we are now. We may shrink, at the maximum levels that we may withdraw.”

Separately, Trump said that an agreement with the Chinese owner Tikhak to sell the application will be agreed upon before the deadline on Saturday.

The deadline set on April 5 in January for the short video platform to find a non -Chinese buyer or face a ban in the United States on national security.

This month was scheduled to comply with a law approved under the Biden Administration.
