During a recent press conference at the White House Rose Garden on May 28, President Donald Trump announced a series of heightened tariffs targeting several of the United States’ global trade partners.
This announcement comes on the heels of another intense media exchange just a month earlier, further highlighting Trump’s increasingly combative stance with both the press and international policy.
The new tariff measures build upon a standard 10% baseline rate, with additional hikes targeting countries such as China and members of the European Union. While outlining the policy changes, Trump faced a provocative question from a journalist.
