important Tariff Proposals:
* Universal 10% tariff on most imports.
* Much higher tariffs on China (60-145%), now reduced to 55% from the US side and 10% from China.
* Potential tariffs up to 100% on Mexico (with USMCA exemptions).
* 20% tariff on all other countries.
* Penalties for outsourcing (e.g., 200% on John Deere).
* Doubled steel and aluminum tariffs (to 50%) and threats of 100% on imported vehicles.
* Focus on reciprocal tariffs for trade deficits.
* Efforts to close the de minimis exemption.
Potential Economic Impacts:
* Higher consumer prices and increased costs for businesses.
* Likely retaliatory tariffs from other countries, potentially leading to trade wars.
* Projected reduced GDP growth and possible recession.
* Potential job losses in some sectors.
* Disproportionate impact on lower-income households.
* Reshaping of global trade relations.
The precise effects depend on implementation, global reactions, and economic conditions.
