#TrumpTariffs Donald Trump implemented a series of new tariffs in 2025 aimed at reducing U.S. dependence on foreign imports and boosting domestic production. These tariffs included a **10% base tariff** on all imported goods, with higher rates for certain countries.

🔹 **China:** **34% tariff** (up to **54%** on specific items)

🔹 **European Union:** **20% tariff** on steel, aluminum, and industrial products

🔹 **Japan:** **24% tariff** on cars and automotive parts

🔹 **Canada & Mexico:** **25% tariff**, with some exemptions

This policy sparked strong global reactions, as several countries imposed retaliatory tariffs on American products. Trump described this move as **"America’s Economic Independence Day"** and claimed it would reduce the trade deficit and increase job opportunities in the U.S.
