#TariffPause TariffPause: What’s Happening with U.S. Tariffs Right Now? Here’s a 7-Point Power Summary:
1️⃣ 10% Universal Tariff:
Every import into the U.S. (even from allies like the UK & EU) now faces a minimum 10% tariff, replacing old free trade deals like those with Australia & South Korea.
2️⃣ China Tariff Hike:
Tariffs on Chinese goods jump from 104% ➡️ 125%, with an extra 20% on fentanyl-related products. U.S.-China trade war just got even 🔥.
3️⃣ Paused Tariffs (for now):
Higher tariffs like 46% on Vietnam and 20% on the EU are temporarily paused until July. But the 10% base tariff is still ON.
4️⃣ Active High Tariffs:
🚗 25% on cars (yes, UK exports too).
🏗️ 25% on steel/aluminum (UK sent $720M worth in 2024).
🌮 25% on selected Mexico/Canada goods, despite old trade deals.
5️⃣ Global Economic Risks:
U.S. import tariffs could average 24–27%, highest in 100 years!
