White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has claimed that US President Donald Trump's tariff "liberation day" will be the "most important day in modern American history".
Speaking to the media, Leavitt declared: "April 2nd 2025 will go down as one of the most important days in modern American history.
"Our country has been one of the most open economies in the world, and we have the consumer base, hands down the best consumer base. But too many foreign countries have their markets closed to our exports. This is fundamentally unfair.
"The lack of reciprocity contributes to our large and persistent annual trade deficit that's gutted our industries and hollowed out key workforces. But those days of America, beginning tomorrow being ripped off are over. President Trump's economic vision is rooted in common sense."
