In a sweeping executive order, US President Donald Trump has expanded tariffs on imports from multiple trading partners, citing persistent trade deficits and national security concerns. The move follows Executive Order 14257, signed in April 2025, and is framed as part of a broader strategy to restore fair trade and strengthen the US economy.
The new order, grounded in the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and other federal statutes, imposes additional ad valorem duties on imports from countries that Trump’s administration says have failed to provide reciprocal trade access or align with U.S. economic and security priorities.
“I have received additional information… on the impact of foreign trading partners’ disparate tariff rates and non-tariff barriers on US exports, the domestic manufacturing base, critical supply chains, and the defense industrial base,” Trump said in the executive order.

Some countries have signaled willingness to cooperate and are in the process of finalising trade and security agreements with the United States. In these cases, their goods will remain subject to additional tariffs until formal agreements are concluded. Others, however, have either failed to reach a deal or not engaged in meaningful negotiations—making them subject to new duties.
For example, European Union goods with current tariff rates below 15 per cent will now face a combined duty of at least 15 per cent, while those with existing rates above 15% will not face additional charges. All countries not specifically listed in the annex will face a flat 10 per cent duty increase. Additional penalties—including a 40 per cent tariff—will apply to goods found to have been transshipped to evade these duties.
The order also outlines enforcement and monitoring mechanisms, directing US agencies to update and revise the Harmonized Tariff Schedule and track potential circumvention schemes.
The White House described the action as essential to maintaining the United States’ economic and national security, particularly in light of ongoing global supply chain disruptions and shifting geopolitical alliances.
