Trump announces sweeping new tariffs starting August 7 — ending decades of free trade.
The White House just unveiled a protectionist trade policy that imposes new tariffs on most countries, with rates tied to their trade balance with the U.S. Countries with a trade surplus face 10%, while those with a deficit are hit with 15%.
26 nations face even higher penalties:
Canada — 35% (USMCA-compliant goods exempt)
Brazil — 50%, despite US surplus
India — 25% + unspecified penalty over Russia ties
Switzerland — 39%
Taiwan — 20%
Mexico — higher tariffs delayed 90 days
Global stock markets are already reacting with sharp declines.
The shift signals a hard break from free trade norms — and businesses around the world are now scrambling to assess operational and supply chain risks.
