On "T-Day," the US began enforcing Trump's new tariffs, raising average rates from 2% to 15% after a 90-day pause allowed some countries to negotiate reduced deals while others, like India and Brazil, faced hikes. These tariffs have generated over $150 billion in revenue by July, impacting various sectors and aiming to address trade imbalances.

Donald Trump has signed an order to impose tariffs imports into the U.S. from countries including China, Mexico and Canada.

Global Tariffs

US customs officials have started enforcing new tariffs announced by President Donald Trump on nearly all US trading partners. These tariffs, described as reciprocal measures to address trade deficits and revive domestic manufacturing, have raised the average US tariff rate from 2 percent to 15 percent. Several countries, including the UK, EU, Japan, and South Korea, have negotiated new deals with lower rates than initially threatened, while others like India and Brazil face higher tariffs. The US has also imposed sector-specific duties on industries such as automobiles, metals, pharmaceuticals, and microprocessors. The tariffs have resulted in a significant increase in customs revenues, but US businesses and consumers are preparing for higher prices as the global trade landscape shifts.

From Liberation Day to Collection Day, as U.S. customs officials finally begin enforcing Donald Trump's tariffs. On April 2nd, the president announced new import duties on virtually all U.S. trading partners worldwide, calling them reciprocal for policies that have left America with large trade deficits and gutted its manufacturing base. Foreign leaders have stolen our jobs. Foreign cheaters have ransacked our factories. And foreign scavengers have torn apart our once-beautiful American dream. With the initial rates far higher than expected, markets tumbled. Trump quickly set a 90-day pause to give countries time to reach new trade deals with Washington. Since then, a number of them have inked preliminary frameworks, most U.K. goods now getting a 10 percent rate, U.S. allies like the E.U., Japan and South Korea reluctantly accepting deals for around 15 percent, lower than Trump's initial threats, but still a major increase from their previous positions. Some other countries, though, have seen their positions worsen since April. India is now facing 50 percent tariffs over its purchases of Russian oil, Brazil facing the same rate as Trump accuses it of persecuting his ally, far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro. Dozens of other countries have not managed to reach a new deal. Overall, the average U.S. tariff rate is going from 2 percent last year up to 15 percent. Meanwhile, Trump has either threatened or already imposed significant sector-specific duties on industries like automobiles, metals, pharmaceuticals and microprocessors. Those tariffs have already raised significant revenues. By the end of July, the U.S. had collected over $150 billion in customs duties, nearly double the amount from the same period last year. Though they target foreign goods, tariffs are a tax paid by importers. U.S. businesses and consumers are thus now bracing for higher prices amid a rapid reordering of the global trade system.
