Trump to impose new double-digit tariffs on imports from 60 countries
Context
President Trump will impose double-digit tariffs on imports from 60 countries over forced labor violations, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced Thursday. The action will cover 99.4 percent of U.S. imports and apply to Washington’s top trading partners, according to a fact sheet released by his office. The tariffs are being brought under Section 301...
What it means
Sweeping double-digit tariffs on nearly all US imports represent a major escalation in trade policy and have historically been associated with broad equity sell-offs, safe-haven demand for gold, and pressure on import-dependent consumer and industrial companies. The inflationary implications also complicate the outlook for bonds. This is a genuinely new and more expansive action than prior tariff signals in scope and coverage.
