#TrumpTariffs Donald Trump, in his second presidency, has implemented and announced a series of significant tariffs throughout 2025. Here's a summary of key aspects:
Key Tariff Policies and Rates:
* Universal 10% Tariff: Effective April 5, 2025, a universal 10% tariff was imposed on nearly all goods imported into the United States, under the authority of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
* Reciprocal Tariffs: Building on the 10% baseline, higher "reciprocal tariffs" have been implemented or threatened on countries with which the US has significant trade deficits. These rates vary significantly by country. Many of these tariffs are set to take effect on August 1, 2025, after some initial deadlines were delayed for negotiations.
