US President Donald Trump’s sweeping new tariff regime has rattled global markets and has continued to fuel uncertainty in international trade.
However, many people do not know the percentages of the new tariffs slapped on countries. So, there is a need to look at data relating to these new tariffs applied to countries, the percentages and the countries most affected for a better understanding.
Notably, on April 2, 2025, the US imposed a blanket 10% tariff on all imports, with around 80 countries facing higher duties ranging from 10% to 50%. Trump defended the move as necessary to “balance trade,” a position he had championed throughout his campaign. However, many analysts and foreign governments see the policy as not only economically disruptive but also unfavourable.
