A graph of the timeline for Trumpβs 2nd term tariffs
Good morning. It is now 12:01 AM, which means tariffs have increased on $1.6T in US imports from more than 90 countries. Those increases go from as small as 5% for goods from the EU & Japan to as high as 31% on Syrian goods, driving the overall tariff rate up more than 2%.
