BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Apr 3, CMC – Caribbean countries were on Thursday sizing up the magnitude of the sweeping tariffs announced by United States President Donald Trump on their respective economies with some indicating that they would be seeking to hold talks with Washington on reducing the impact of the new taxes.
Trump on Wednesday announced far-reaching new tariffs on nearly all US trading partners ranging from a 34 per cent tax on imports from China and 20 per cent on the European Union, among others, in a move economists and other traders say is designed to dismantle much of the architecture of the global economy and trigger broader trade wars.
