🔎 What’s the current situation
In 2025, the U.S. under Trump has rolled out sweeping new tariffs on a wide range of imports — from steel, aluminium and copper to cars, electronics, and many goods from dozens of countries.
The approach marks a major shift: rather than equal-treatment tariffs for all trading partners, the U.S. is increasingly using country-specific tariffs, with poorer and developing nations often facing the sharpest increases.
As of late November 2025, some previously imposed tariffs have been modified: certain industrial imports from China — including some medical and manufacturing goods — had their tariff-exclusions extended as part of a partial trade truce.
