In Summary








    President Donald Trump swung into action and slapped Kenya with a 10 per cent reciprocal tariff on Kenyan exports to America.

    Trump said the sweeping tariffs are aimed at levelling the playing field in international trade and countering what he called "cheating" in global trade.

    The move was part of a trade policy overhaul he announced in his address from the White House Rose Garden on Wednesday, which he dubbed "Liberation Day."

    "This is our declaration of economic independence," Trump proclaimed, adding that the new measures will help rebuild the American economy and "prevent cheating" by mirroring the tariffs imposed on U.S. goods abroad.
