President-elect’s aides look at universal import duties, but only on certain sectors, among first big moves of presidency.

President-elect Donald Trump’s aides are exploring tariff plans that would be applied to every country but only cover critical imports, three people familiar with the matter said — a key shift from his plans during the 2024 presidential campaign.
