[SINGAPORE] The country’s manufacturing output fell 1.3 per cent year on year in February, breaking its seven-month expansion streak after the biomedical and electronics clusters fell into contraction. This missed private-sector economists’ forecasts of a 7 per cent expansion, in a poll by Bloomberg. February’s data is also a turnaround from January’s revised growth of 8 per cent.

The looming chaos of Trump’s trade "Liberation Day"​

Published 25 March 2025

President Donald Trump has promised to unleash the largest sweep of his trade policy agenda next week, with a raft of new tariffs to be applied globally and armed with a set of legal justifications for a range of actions beyond just tariffs. April 2, which Trump is now calling "Liberation Day," will be the most important turning point in reversing the last 80 years of US economic integration with the world in favor of implementing America First.

President Donald Trump has promised "Liberation Day" on April 2, when his reciprocal tariff agenda goes global. He said that the United States will be "getting back a lot of the wealth" that friend and foe alike have taken from America over the years.1

While there has been a long debate over whether to take Trump’s statements "literally but not seriously," or "seriously but not literally," his early actions in office indicate that major changes are ahead. It is rare to be able to see a turning point in history coming so clearly, as most are obvious only in hindsight. In this instance, however, April 2 is shaping up to be an economic milestone with actions that will reverberate globally for decades to come.

To understand the importance of this period, it is worth taking a short step back to examine what actually happened before looking ahead to what is expected in early April. Since his inauguration on January 20, Trump has threatened and used his favorite policy tool, tariffs, against a wide array of targets with diverse justifications.2 He has often moved very quickly, with tariff decisions taken and implemented within hours or with some policies imposed and then reversed almost as swiftly. April 2 will be the early culmination of his vision to rebalance global trade and economics in favor of the United States alone.

TOPLINE​

In just more than a week, President Donald Trump will roll out what he’s indicated is his biggest trade policy yet, reciprocal tariffs, naming next Wednesday as “Liberation Day” for American trade, though Trump has sowed confusion on what countries and goods will be included, and he gave further indication Monday his upcoming tariffs may be less impactful than he previously expressed.
