The Trump administration is gearing up to slap fresh tariffs on dozens of countries this week, extending what has become the most aggressive US trade policy campaign in modern history. The new levies follow an expiring 10% global baseline tariff and are expected to target key economies across multiple continents.
What we know about the new tariffs
The incoming round builds on a sweeping tariff framework that Trump has been constructing since early 2025. A 10% universal baseline tariff has been in effect since April, functioning as a floor rather than a ceiling.
On top of that baseline, the administration has layered additional country-specific levies ranging from 1% to 40% on trading partners it deems “unfair.” Earlier waves have touched over 90 nations, with rates between 10% and 41% applied to imports from at least 69 trading partners.
Some countries have been hit particularly hard. Canadian goods face a 35% tariff. Brazil is looking at 50%. And the biggest economies, including China, the EU, and India, remain squarely in the crosshairs.
