According to CCTV News, the White House stated on September 26 local time that the latest tariff measures on pharmaceuticals will not apply to countries that have reached trade agreements with the United States. According to Reuters, White House officials stated that the United States will continue to abide by the 15% tariff cap stipulated in the agreement for trading partners such as the European Union and Japan. On September 25, US President Trump announced on his social media "Real Social" that starting October 1, the United States will implement a new round of high tariffs on a variety of imported products. The measures include: a 50% tariff on kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and related building materials; a 30% tariff on imported furniture; and a 100% tariff on patented and branded drugs.

The plan has not been previously reported and remains subject to change. Under the plan, the U.S. Commerce Department would impose tariffs on imported products equal to a percentage of the estimated value of the chip content. If implemented, the plan would signal the Trump administration's attempt to influence a wide range of consumer products, from toothbrushes to laptops. [Golden Encyclopedia] How to Research Cryptocurrencies Using ChatGPT Unlike traditional stocks, which are backed by financial reports and regulatory filings, crypto assets generally lack standardized financial data. You need to sift through information like white papers, GitHub repositories, and community sentiment. Failure to conduct proper research can lead to investing in overhyped or even fraudulent projects. ChatGPT can simplify complex crypto projects by summarizing white papers, explaining use cases, and analyzing token economics. Before investing in any crypto token, it's crucial to research the team, partners, and security risks. Comparing a project with competitors can highlight its strengths and weaknesses, helping you make better decisions. ChatGPT can act as a research guide by providing relevant research questions for both beginners and experienced investors. While ChatGPT is a powerful research aid, it's important to understand its limitations: unless integrated with tools like web browsing or APIs, it doesn't have real-time data; it doesn't provide investment advice or guaranteed predictions; and it may generate outdated or inaccurate information (always verify facts). However, AI tools like ChatGPT now make it easier than ever to gather insights, organize information, and ask the right questions. It's crucial to use ChatGPT as a supplement to your research process, not a replacement for critical thinking and due diligence.
