đ Overview of Trump's Tariff Policy
On April 2, 2025, President Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, effective April 5. Additionally, higher tariffs were imposed on 57 countries, including a 54% tariff on Chinese goods and 20â26% tariffs on the European Union and India. Automobiles manufactured outside the U.S. are subject to a 25% tariff.
This move, described as the most significant U.S. protectionist action since the 1930s, has led to increased market volatility. A U.S. court recently blocked these tariffs, ruling they exceeded presidential authority under emergency powers. The Trump administration has appealed, seeking to reinstate them.
