Will Trump 10% blanket tariff go into effect by Saturday?
On April 2, Donald Trump announced a 10% tariff on all imports set to take effect on April 5, 2025 at 12:01 a.m. EDT (see: https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-declares-national-emergency-to-increase-our-competitive-edge-protect-our-sovereignty-and-strengthen-our-national-and-economic-security/) This market will resolve to “Yes” if the general 10% tariff on all imports into the United States goes into effect for any amount of time between April 2, 2025, and April 5, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. For the purpose of this market, "goes into effect" means the start date for the 10% tariff, as announced by the Trump administration, must have passed without being further delayed or suspended. Only the general 10% tariff applying to all imports into the United States will qualify. For example, tariffs specifically targeting individual countries (e.g., reciprocal tariffs) or specific goods (e.g., autos, steel) will not count toward this market's resolution. This market's primary resolution source will be official information from the Trump administration; however, a consensus of credible information from major news outlets or government statements will also be used.
