#Trump100Days During its first 100 days in office, starting in January 2025, the Trump administration pursued an aggressive trade protectionism agenda through the imposition of significant tariffs. Citing issues like unfair trade practices, national security, and concerns over immigration and fentanyl trafficking, the administration swiftly implemented new or increased duties on a wide range of imports. This included tariffs as high as 145% on goods from China, 25% on imports from Canada and Mexico, and broad tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automobiles. These actions marked a rapid escalation of trade tensions, drawing strong reactions and retaliatory measures from trading partners and creating considerable uncertainty in global markets and for domestic industries.
