US President Donald Trump said he would impose a 10% baseline duty for all imports to the United States and higher duties on some of the country’s largest trading partners who are drawing deficiencies from leaders and governments around the world.

Trump does not impose his new 10% global customs on goods from Top Trading Partners Canada and Mexico, while his previous order remains in place for up to 25% duty on many goods from the two countries over border control and fentanyl trading problems, the White House said in a fact sheet.

Here are some reactions from the top officials and governments around the world:

Europe -Commission President Ursula von der Leyen

“President Trump’s announcement of universal tariffs around the world, including the EU, is a huge blow to the world economy.”

“Uncertainty will spiral and trigger the increase in further protectionism. The consequences will be serious for millions of people across the globe.”

“We are already finishing a first package of countermeasures in response to tariff rates on steel. And we are now preparing for further countermeasures to protect our interests and our companies if the negotiations fail.”

China’s Ministry of Commerce

“China opposes this firmly and will take countermeasures to protect its own rights and interests.”

“There are no winners in trade war and there is no way out to protectionism. China calls on the US to immediately lift unilateral tariffs and solve differences correctly with its trading partners through dialogue about a equal foot.”

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba

“Japan is a country that gives the largest investment amount to the United States, so we wonder if it makes sense for (Washington) to use uniform tariffs to all countries.”

“We need to consider what is best for Japan’s national interest. We put all the options on the table by considering the most effective response.”

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney

“(Trump) has retained a number of important elements of our relationship, the commercial relationship between Canada and the United States. But the Fentanyl -the Tariffs still remain in place, just as the customs of steel and aluminum.”

“We will fight these tariffs with countermeasures, we will protect our workers and we will build the strongest economy in G7.”

Brazilian Foreign Ministry

“The Brazilian Government regrets the North American Government’s decision today, April 2, to impose additional tariffs on a maximum of 10% on all Brazilian exports to this country.”

“The Brazilian government assesses all possible actions to ensure reciprocity in bilateral trade, including resorting to the World Trade Organization, in defense of legitimate national interests.”

Australian Premier Anthony Albanese

“The (Trump) administration’s tariffs have no basis in logic and they go against the basis of our two nations’ partnership. This is not a friend’s action. Today’s decision will add uncertainty in the global economy and it will push the cost of US households.”

South Korean functioning president he duck-soo

“As the global trade war has become a reality, the government must pour all its opportunities to overcome the trade crisis.”

New Zealand Commerce Minister Todd McClay

“New Zealand’s interests are best served in a world where trade flows freely … New Zealand’s bilateral relationship with the United States remains strong. We will talk to the administration for more information and our exporters to better understand the influence this message will have.”

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez

“Spain will protect its businesses and workers and will continue to be obliged to an open world.”

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristerssson

“We don’t want to grow trade barriers. We don’t want a trade war … We will find our way back to a path to trade and cooperation with the US so that people in our countries can enjoy a better life.”

Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter

“(Federal Council) will quickly determine the next steps. The country’s long -term economic interests are of the utmost importance. Adhesion to international law and free trade remains core values.”

Irish Premier Micheal Martin

“The US decision tonight to introduce 20% duty on imports from the entire European Union is deeply regrettable. I am convinced that the tariffs do not benefit from anyone. My priority and the government are to protect Irish jobs and the Irish economy.”

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni

“We will do everything we can to work towards an agreement with the United States, with the aim of avoiding a trade war that would inevitably weaken the West in favor of other global players.”

Manfred Weber, President of EPP, largest party in Europe

“To our American friends today is not a day of liberation – it is anger -day. Donald Trump’s customs duties do not defend fair trade; they attack it by fear and damage both sides of the Atlantic. Europe is united, ready to defend his interests and open to fair, regular lectures.”

Colombian President Gustavo Petro

“We will only make us import more expensive if they remove our jobs. But we do not raise tariffs if their goods help create jobs with higher value.”
