#TrumpTariffs The #TrumpTariffs are a series of protectionist tariffs imposed by the administration of Donald Trump in the U.S., affecting almost all imported goods. Since January 2025, the average applied tariff rate has significantly increased, reaching 27% in April. This includes tariffs of 50% on steel and aluminum, and 25% on imported automobiles, with ongoing investigations into other sectors such as pharmaceuticals and copper.

The stated objective of these measures is to promote domestic manufacturing, reduce trade deficits, address unfair trade practices, protect national security, and increase revenue. However, these policies have generated considerable global economic uncertainty and have been criticized by economists who argue that tariffs are paid by American consumers and businesses.

Currently, August 1, 2025, is the deadline for countries to negotiate trade agreements with the U.S. and avoid higher tariff rates, although letters have already been sent to several nations such as Japan and South Korea with tariffs of 25% or more. An intense phase of negotiations is expected.
