WASHINGTON, April 3 — United States President Donald Trump has announced new “kind” reciprocal tariffs on more than 180 countries, marking the most extensive tariff package implemented by the US in decades.
Speaking from the White House’s Rose Garden, Trump described the tariffs as “discounted reciprocal” rates. While acknowledging the levies as steep, he insisted they did not match the tariffs imposed by other nations on US exports.
Countries not specifically listed will face a baseline tariff of 10 per cent on all imports into the US, the administration stated. The tariffs take into account factors such as currency manipulation and trade barriers, though these figures have not been independently verified.
Below is a summary reported by Forbes of the reciprocal tariffs announced by the US:
