Trump teases tariff 'breaks' for countries ahead of April 2 reciprocal day

President Donald Trump promised April 2 would be “liberation day” as his reciprocal tariffs go into effect, but he acknowledged Monday that there might be some wiggle room at the margins.

“I may give a lot of countries breaks,” Trump said Monday when asked about possible exceptions. “It’s reciprocal, but we might be even nicer than that. We’ve been very nice to a lot of countries for a long time. But I call it ‘Liberation Day.’ April 2 is ‘Liberation Day.’”
