The White Home is adjusting its tariff technique forward of the deliberate April 2 rollout. As an alternative of implementing broad, industry-specific tariffs (akin to on vehicles, prescribed drugs, and semiconductors), the main target will probably shift to focused reciprocal tariffs aimed toward international locations with important commerce ties to the U.S.
