📣 Trump Shifts from Targeted to Systemic Trade Restrictions – Plans to Introduce “Mirror” Tariffs Against ALL Countries That Impose Duties on American Goods.
⚫ Already Implemented: Tariffs on steel and aluminum (effective March 12).
⚫ Added: 10% tariff on Chinese goods (since February 4).
⚫ Postponed: 25% tariff for Mexico and Canada until March 4.
⚫ Upcoming: Tariffs on automobiles, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals.
😐 Experts highlight the challenges of structuring “mirror” tariffs due to the vast number of variations (5,000 product types × 186 countries).
ℹ️ They also emphasize the systemic impact on supply chains (“reverberate across supply chains”), meaning price increases for raw materials (steel/aluminum) will affect the cost of all derivative products.
