Washington: US President Donald Trump announced early Thursday that “billions of dollars in tariffs” have started to flow into the United States following the implementation of new duties after his August 7 deadline.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Trump took to his Truth Social platform just after midnight to share the news. He posted: “IT’S MIDNIGHT!!! BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TARIFFS ARE NOW FLOWING INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!”
The announcement underscores the administration’s strategy of imposing tariffs as a means to bolster American economic interests. The tariffs, which were set into motion after the specified deadline, are part of a broader trade policy aimed at recalibrating trade relations and addressing trade imbalances.
