- Story Text:As President Donald Trump imposed a 10% tariff on most goods imported to the United States, as well as much higher levies on dozens of rivals and allies alike, a container ship was loaded with cargo in the southern English port of Southampton on Thursday (April 3).
The MH Perseus, a Singapore-flagged ship, had travelled from the southern U.S. city of New Orleans.
Trump’s sweeping penalties announced against the serene backdrop of the White House Rose Garden on Wednesday immediately unleashed turbulence across world markets and drew condemnation from other leaders now facing the end of an era of trade liberalisation that has shaped the global order for decades.
Now facing 54% tariffs on exports to the U.S., the world's No. 2 economy China vowed countermeasures, as did the European Union - Washington's friends and foes united in criticism of measures they fear will deal a devastating blow to global trade.
