President Donald Trump’s slew of broad tariffs target dozens of countries, including many key US trading partners. A range of goods Americans rely on will be affected.
On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order to implement broad tariffs on over 180 countries that have placed tariffs on US goods. On top of a 10% baseline tariff, the president said he’ll impose additional double-digit tariffs that the administration argued were based on tariffs and other trade barriers those countries placed on the US.
“They do it to us, and we do it to them. Very simple. Can’t get any simpler than that,” Trump said during his remarks.
Some affected countries have already warned of retaliatory tariffs following Trump’s announcement; Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, said during a speech ahead of Trump’s executive order that “we do not necessarily want to retaliate but, if it is necessary, we have a strong plan to retaliate and we will use it.”
Here are the top goods the US imports from some of the major countries hit by Trump’s newest tariffs.
