U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has stated that a global tariff increase of up to 15% is likely to be announced this week. However, there is an exception for the European Union, which is expected to remain at a 10% tariff based on circulating reports. It should be noted that the European Union accounts for more than 20% of total U.S. imports, so this decision could have a significant impact on global trade. If tariffs truly rise to 15%, potential inflationary pressures and trade tensions could increase again. Global markets are awaiting official confirmation this week. source: @solidintel_x
