President Donald Trump has announced a new “reciprocal tariff” policy, imposing a 10% baseline tariff on imports and significantly increasing tariffs on key trade partners:
- China: 54% total
- EU: 20%
- Vietnam: 46%
- Taiwan: 32%
The White House argues that these measures address unfair trade practices and create a level playing field for American businesses. However, concerns are mounting over rising consumer prices, supply chain disruptions, and potential retaliatory tariffs from affected nations.
A White House chart outlining the new tariffs and foreign trade barriers was displayed by Trump during his announcement in the Rose Garden.
