Trump's New Tariff Measures and Their Impact on Global Trade Policy

April 10, 2025

Donald Trump is posting online, causing confusion about new tariff measures. He announced an increase of tariffs on China to 125% and provided a 90-day grace period for 75 countries to avoid higher charges. These countries, excluding the EU, will temporarily face an additional 10% tariff. The EU responded with countermeasures worth 21 billion euros in response to perceived disrespect from China.
