โจThe newspapers extensively cover President Trump's announcement of sweeping new tariffs, which he calls a "Declaration of Economic Independence" or "Liberation Day" (ABC News, Boston Globe, Breitbart, CBS, CNN, Epoch Times, Fox News, NY Post, NYTimes, Newsweek, AP News, HuffPost, USA Today). The plan imposes a baseline 10% tariff on all imports, with higher rates for countries deemed "worst offenders," particularly China and several U.S. allies (NYTimes, CNN, NY Post). Trump framed the tariffs as protection against nations that have "looted and pillaged" America (ABC News, Breitbart), while critics warn of potential economic consequences (MSNBC, Slate).
