Washington. US President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff war has once again created a stir in the global markets. After Trump’s warning, all the goods imported from China are going to be implemented today, 104 percent of tariffs from 9 April 2025. The US President described it as part of his ‘America First’ policy.

Donald Trump claims that America is benefiting from billions of dollars every day. But where did the idea behind this policy come from and what can be the effect? Let’s consider it in 10 points…

1. Trump had announced on Monday that if China does not remove its counter tariff on American goods till Tuesday, then from Wednesday, all the goods coming from China would be charged 104% tariffs. This step has come into force from today, which has deepened the trade war between the two countries.
2. The US President said at the White House on Tuesday that his country is earning $ 2 billion every day with the new tariff. However, he did not produce detailed figures for this, but claimed that this amount would help strengthen American industries.
3. Trump’s advisor Peter Navarro is being considered a big hand behind this tariff policy. Navaro is Trump’s Senior Trade Advisor since January 2025. He has written a book ‘Death by China’. Trump’s son -in -law Jared Kushner read this book and became convinced. After this, in 2016, he joined Trump’s team.
4. Navaro mentioned a fictional economist ‘Ron Vara’ in his books, which he cited in support of anti -China policies. Senior American journalist Rachel Madad revealed in her MSNBC show that ‘Ron Vara’ is actually a fictional name of Navaro, which is Anagram (inverted) of her surname ‘Navaro’.
5. According to Madad, Trump’s tariff policy began with a ‘fake memo’, which was allegedly written by ‘Ron Vara’. It was said in this memo that Trump can win by riding a tariff ‘. Navaro later described it as an ‘funny way’.
6. The US stock market saw a huge decline on Tuesday. S&P 500 decreased by 1.6%, while Dow Jones closed down 320 points. Trump’s tariff among investors has increased the possibility of recession.
7. Trump’s tariff policy has been criticized by some leaders of the Republican Party, Democrats and foreign leaders. Many countries offered talks for exemption, but Trump said, ‘We cannot meet so many people so soon.’
8. Navaro has long been seen by China as an economic threat. In his book ‘Death by China’, he was quoted as saying ‘Ron Vara’, ‘Only Chinese can make the couch acid, cradle weapons and battery to arms.’
9. In 2019 it was revealed that ‘Ron Vara’ was a character made by Navaro. There was no such student in Harvard as Navaro claimed. Navaro described it as the work done for ‘entertainment’.
10. Trump described the tariff as ‘explosive’ but necessary. He says that this will lead to the American industry regeneration. However, experts believe that long -term tariffs may increase the risk of global recession.
