On Thursday, President Trump officially announced increased tariffs on imports from more than 60 U.S. trading partners, set to take effect next week, just before a midnight deadline. The executive order detailed new tariff rates ranging up to 41% for countries like Syria and 40% for Laos and Myanmar. Nearly all imports from affected nations will face tariffs of at least 10%.
The tariffs will apply to goods entering U.S. consumption starting seven days after the announcement, giving Customs and Border Protection time to prepare. The new rates affect nearly 70 countries, including those with which the U.S. has trade agreements, such as Japan, South Korea, and the European Union, which have tailored tariffs reflecting their deals.
The administration categorized trading partners into three groups based on trade balance: countries with U.S. trade surpluses face 10% tariffs, those with small deficits face 15%, and those with larger deficits face higher rates. Canada, Mexico, and China—America’s top trading partners—are treated separately. Canada’s tariffs will rise from 25% to 35% starting Friday due to concerns over drug trafficking, while Mexico and China received temporary deadline extensions.
The move has drawn criticism internationally, with Canada disputing the justification for tariffs and China condemning the escalating trade conflict. Despite ambitious goals to secure numerous trade deals rapidly, the administration has finalized only a handful, often without comprehensive details.
While the tariffs aim to protect American industries and reduce trade deficits, experts warn they may raise costs for U.S. consumers and businesses. Financial markets responded negatively, with stock futures dropping after the announcement. Still, the administration emphasizes tariff revenues and improved trade terms as signs of progress in its trade agenda.
