🇺🇸 Trump Tariffs 2025: What’s Really Happening? ⚠️
#tump When Donald Trump returned to power in 2025, he immediately reignited a massive tariff campaign — shaking global markets, pushing inflation higher, and creating huge uncertainty across the world economy.
📜 What Are the New Tariffs?
On April 2, 2025, Trump signed Executive Order 14257 (“Liberation Day”), triggering a 10% baseline tariff on almost all U.S. imports.
Just one week later, many countries were hit with much higher, country-specific tariffs — from 25–50%, and in some cases (like China) even above 100%.
These tariffs hit major global sectors:
• Steel & aluminum
• Autos & electronics
• Semiconductors & pharmaceuticals
• Key manufacturing industries
💡 Why Did Trump Do It?
🟢 Reduce Trade Deficits: The administration says persistent U.S. trade deficits threaten economic security.
🟢 Boost U.S. Manufacturing: Higher tariffs make foreign goods pricier, encouraging “Buy American.”
🟢 Gain Leverage: Tariffs are being used as pressure tools to force new trade deals and counter alleged unfair practices.
Markets, investors, and global exporters are now bracing for the impact — and the ripple effects could last for years.
