Trump slaps 30% tariff on Mexico and the EU

Donald Trump threatened duties of 30% on products from Mexico and the European Union; two of America’s biggest trading partners, in an ongoing tariff campaign that’s upended global trade since he retook office.

“The United States of America has agreed to continue working with the European Union, in spite of having one of our largest Trade Deficits with you. Regardless, we have decided to move forward, but only with more balanced and fair TRADE.

President Trump has enforced a slate of tariffs on US trading partners this year – then paused, modified, raised or lowered them, in a chaotic barrage of policy actions that’s left everyone from major nations to individual Americans trying to figure out how to arrange future plan.

    He stated that the EU and Mexico, Trump said that all imports were subject to the 30% tariff, excluding “Sectoral Tariffs,” such as the 25% auto tariff.

    The letter clearly states that the aim is to reach an agreement so that these tariffs are not imposed,” Sheinbaum said Saturday in a speech in the city of Guaymas, adding that she is confident about reaching an agreement and better trade terms with the United States.

    President Trump declared that any retaliation of tariffs charged on US imports would be met with objection from the United States. Trump stated that “whatever the number you choose to raise (tariffs) by, will be added onto the 30% that we charge.”

    He censured both tariff and non-tariff trade barriers as additional reasons for imposing tariffs on the EU and Mexico.

    In conclusion, Donald Trump has warned he may levy 30% tariffs on imports from Mexico and the European Union — two of America’s key trade partners — continuing a tariff campaign that has unsettled global markets since his return to office.
