President Trump announced sweeping levies on countries across the world. Washington’s partners have been bracing for the fallout.

President Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs that included so-called reciprocal actions on dozens of other countries at very high levels.

Service sectors make up the vast bulk of the American economy, which gives trading partners some clout in trade negotiations.

President Trump says that countries have been ripping off the United States for decades. There is some truth to that argument — but also a lot of hypocrisy.

The president on Wednesday will announce sweeping tariffs that he says will restore fairness to the global trading system.

The president did not reveal the details of his plan to impose reciprocal tariffs the same day, but suggested he would move ahead with import taxes on trading partners.

Two dozen trade experts gathered recently to simulate how a global trade war would play out. The results were surprisingly optimistic.

The central bank’s outreach to companies has taken on new significance as the outlook for growth and inflation gets cloudier.
