Trump will announce corresponding tariff measures at 3:00 am Beijing time on April 3

<Odaily> Trump's team is finalizing the tariff plan before the trade policy release on April 2nd, currently considering a third "compromise option": imposing a unified tariff rate on some countries, which is expected to be lower than the previously discussed 20% universal tariff. Previously, Trump had considered imposing a 20% uniform tariff on almost all imported goods or implementing a reciprocal tariff mechanism based on country differences. However, this extreme proposal has been opposed by industry and union groups, with some Republican senators indicating they might support a Democratic proposal challenging the president's emergency tariff authority. Analysts point out that although Trump tends to prefer the "most aggressive approach", he is forced to compromise due to lack of sufficient support within his party. With less than a day remaining before the policy announcement at 4:00 PM Eastern Time on April 2nd, the final version has not yet been finalized. The White House and the U.S. Trade Representative's Office have not yet responded to this matter. (WSJ)
