Trump’s Tariff Policy Reshapes Global Trade Landscape in 2025
President Donald TRUMP has dramatically altered international trade dynamics in 2025 through aggressive tariff implementation. By December, his administration had imposed import taxes affecting nearly all trading partners, with rates ranging from 10% to 40% depending on the country. The measures, frequently modified throughout the year, have created significant uncertainty in global markets.
Notable actions include a universal 10% minimum tariff implemented August 7, with higher rates targeting specific nations. Brazil faces particularly steep 40% duties on certain goods—a retaliatory measure against alleged social media censorship—though critical exports like coffee received exemptions. The constantly evolving policy environment continues to disrupt supply chains and influence pricing across multiple sectors.
