Trump pushed for a 20% global tariff, emphasizing its simplicity and urging advisors to finalize the policy before the April 2 deadline.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's consideration of implementing a 20% tariff on all imports as part of a broader, simpler trade policy if he were to return to office. This policy, described as "big and simple," aims to replace the current complex system of country-specific tariffs with a uniform rate, potentially affecting global trade dynamics significantly. Trump's proposal is seen as a move to protect American industries, reduce trade deficits, and exert pressure on countries like China, although it could lead to higher costs for consumers and retaliatory measures from trading partners. The idea has sparked debate over its economic implications, with critics arguing it might ignite trade wars and increase inflation, while supporters believe it could strengthen U.S. manufacturing and bargaining power in international trade negotiations.
