Trump implements new tariffs on multiple countries

New tariffs will affect imports from 69 trading partners starting in a week.

Trump imposes tariffs on imports from many countries

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that will impose reciprocal tariffs on imports from dozens of countries, as well as extended the tariff deal deadline with Mexico by 90 days. The new rates will take effect in seven days, affecting 69 trading partners. Tariffs range from 41% on Syrian imports to 10% on those from the UK. A searchable table detailing the specific tariffs for each country is available from The Guardian.

The introduction of these tariffs is likely to escalate tensions between the U.S. and several countries, including key allies. By targeting a wide range of nations, the Trump administration appears to be reinforcing its pursuit of a protectionist trade agenda. Such moves may provoke retaliatory tariffs and, in turn, create significant disruptions in global trade. While the tariffs aim to boost U.S. manufacturing, the repercussions could lead to increased prices for consumers and strained international relations, particularly with Canada and Mexico.
