President Donald Trump’s sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs have sent shockwaves through the global economy – and even the world of football is feeling the tremors. Announced in early April, these measures include a baseline 10% tariff on all U.S. imports, with much steeper rates (up to 50%+) on certain countries accused of unfair trade practices. Trump touted the tariffs as a long-overdue levelling of the playing field in trade. “They charge us, we charge them,” he said bluntly, describing April 2 as “Liberation Day” for American industry.
