SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lawrence Wong is set to deliver a ministerial statement on the US tariffs and their implications as parliament sits on Tuesday (Apr 8).

US President Donald Trump imposed sweeping new tariffs last week, sparking a raft of retaliatory moves by some countries, including China.

Singapore was hit with the baseline 10 per cent tariff, which is much lower than the tariffs other Southeast Asian nations are facing.

Last week, Mr Wong said Singapore must brace itself for more shocks to come, as the global calm and stability that once existed "will not return anytime soon".

Singapore stocks were down nearly 7.5 per cent at closing on Monday.

His skillset only spend $ and raise taxes and tax the middle and give vouchers to the poor, u cannot expect him to hv solution.

His entire cabinet none of them can start a business, all civil servants and generals. Likely not talking to trump as they don’t know how to handle him..

he need to ask his mentor for help… the amk grandmaster

Sending a trade delegation to the US to try to negotiate down the tariffs is far more practical...
