However, reports from Bloomberg News and The Wall Street Journal suggest that sector-specific tariffs will not be included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trump\u2019s Earlier Tariff Plans on Autos and Tech<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In February, <a href=\"https:\/\/bigbreakingwire.in\/trump-announces-plan-for-fair-and-reciprocal-tariffs-on-global-trade\/\">Trump<\/a> proposed a 25% tariff on auto imports and similar levies on semiconductors and pharmaceutical products. However, after strong opposition from the three largest U.S. automakers, he agreed to delay some auto tariffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sector-Specific Tariffs Unlikely on April 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to The Wall Street Journal, the White House will not introduce industry-specific tariffs on April 2, although general reciprocal tariffs will still take effect. Bloomberg also reported that sector-based duties will be excluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>White House Sticks to Tariff Plans Despite Treasury Remarks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, the White House reaffirmed its commitment to implementing new tariff measures on April 2. This comes despite earlier comments from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who hinted at a possible delay. However, officials say the final plan remains flexible and could still change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>April 2: Reciprocal tariffs to be imposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Auto, tech, and pharma tariffs delayed after industry pushback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>White House confirms plans, but some uncertainty remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tariff policy could have a major impact on global trade and businesses, with further updates expected as the deadline approaches.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-bigbreakingwire wp-block-embed-bigbreakingwire\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"Bk9fCC7svt\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bigbreakingwire.in\/trump-announces-plan-for-fair-and-reciprocal-tariffs-on-global-trade\/\">Trump Announces Plan for &#8216;Fair and Reciprocal&#8217;
