“During the next short number of months, the Trump Administration will determine and issue the new and legally permissible Tariffs,” the president added.
The price of bitcoin reacted quickly to the post, seeing an initial uptick of around 0.5% before losing nearly 1% of its value, reacting to the development. BTC is now trading at $68,000. Ether is down 0.45% since the announcement to $1,980.
