President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs will take immediate effect after they are announced Wednesday, his top spokeswoman said. 

“My understanding is that the tariff announcement will come tomorrow. They will be effective immediately, and the president has been teasing this for quite some time,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Tuesday.  

The US president said Monday he had “settled” on a plan for so-called “reciprocal” duties meant to rebalance US trade relationships. Leavitt said that Trump, who has been known to change his mind on major policy announcements, was meeting Tuesday afternoon with his trade team to discuss the details.
