Trump's remark on mutual tariffs becomes viral: “Didn't want to be accused of the April Fool'sz” “

US President Donald Trump has confirmed that the United States will impose mutual tariffs against India and other countries from April 2.

In his speech to the joint session of the US congress on Tuesday (local time), US President Donald Trump emphasized that the United States would impose mutual tariffs on April 2 and other countries. At a slight moment that turned out during the address, Trump said that he did not want to announce on April 1 because it was April number day.

He said: “I wanted to make it on April 1, but I didn't want to be accused of the April Fool's joke. One day I would have cost us a lot of money, but we'll do it in April. I am a very superstitious person.”

“This is mutual, back and forth. Whatever you tax us, we will tax you. If you do not do monetary tariffs to keep us out of your market, we will not carry out monetary barriers to keep you away from our market. There is also a lot of it,” added Trump.
