Since taking office, President Trump has announced a flurry of
new and updated tariff programs, including global reciprocal
tariffs, emergency tariffs to address the threat of fentanyl, and
expansions to existing steel and aluminum tariffs, as well as new
national security tariffs targeting imported automobiles and auto
parts. At the same time, the Administration is quickly laying the
groundwork for additional sector-specific tariffs, covering a wide
range of products including copper, lumber, pharmaceuticals,
semiconductors, critical minerals and trucks. And while actions
targeting China – with tariffs up to 170% and elimination of
the de minimis exemption – are certainly dominating
the headlines, few trading partners have been spared.
