#TrumpTariffs

In 2025, former President Donald Trump reimposed sweeping tariffs as part of his “America First” trade agenda. Key moves include doubling steel and aluminum tariffs to 50%, a universal 10% tariff on most imports, and targeted 25% tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico, and nations tied to Venezuela. A major deal with China kept tariffs at 55% on their imports. Trump claims these measures protect U.S. industry and national security, but critics warn of rising prices and strained global trade. The UK, for now, is partially exempt. A critical July 9 review could trigger further reciprocal tariffs worldwide.
