As the deadline for reciprocal duties approaches, former President Donald Trump has hinted at a potential shift in his tariff strategy, suggesting a degree of 'flexibility' in negotiations. The looming 'Liberation Day' marks a significant moment for U.S. trade policy, with tariffs on various imports set to impact numerous industries and consumers alike.
