Trump expands tariffs: See the full list of targeted countries
In a sweeping executive order, US President Donald Trump has expanded tariffs on imports from multiple trading partners, citing persistent trade deficits and national security concerns. The move follows Executive Order 14257, signed in April 2025, and is framed as part of a broader strategy to restore fair trade and strengthen the US economy.
The new order, grounded in the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and other federal statutes, imposes additional ad valorem duties on imports from countries that Trump's administration says have failed to provide reciprocal trade access or align with U.S. economic and security priorities.
'I have received additional information… on the impact of foreign trading partners' disparate tariff rates and non-tariff barriers on US exports, the domestic manufacturing base, critical supply chains, and the defense industrial base,' Trump said in the executive order.
Read:
Some countries have signaled willingness to cooperate and are in the process of finalising trade and security agreements with the United States. In these cases, their goods will remain subject to additional tariffs until formal agreements are concluded. Others, however, have either failed to reach a deal or not engaged in meaningful negotiations—making them subject to new duties.
For example, European Union goods with current tariff rates below 15 per cent will now face a combined duty of at least 15 per cent, while those with existing rates above 15% will not face additional charges. All countries not specifically listed in the annex will face a flat 10 per cent duty increase. Additional penalties—including a 40 per cent tariff—will apply to goods found to have been transshipped to evade these duties.
The order also outlines enforcement and monitoring mechanisms, directing US agencies to update and revise the Harmonized Tariff Schedule and track potential circumvention schemes.
The White House described the action as essential to maintaining the United States' economic and national security, particularly in light of ongoing global supply chain disruptions and shifting geopolitical alliances.

Will Trump's tariff shock catalyse reforms in India?
As US President Donald Trump's sweeping new trade tariffs ripple across the globe, India — now the world's fourth-largest economy — is grappling with a fresh economic shock: an additional 25 per cent tariff on its exports to the United States, bringing the total duty on several Indian products to 50 per cent. While the punitive measure is a response to New Delhi's continued oil trade with Russia, analysts and policy thinkers are debating whether this moment, fraught with economic risks, could also be a once-in-a-generation opportunity for India to reform and reimagine its export competitiveness. The secondary tariff, effective August 27, targets India along with only two other nations — China and Turkey. Washington has justified the action by citing India's strategic crude oil imports from Moscow. Ironically, the US had previously encouraged India to tap alternative suppliers amid the war in Ukraine to ensure global energy stability. India's Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the new tariff as 'unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable', noting that such a measure contradicts prior US policy stances. Nevertheless, the implications are real and immediate. The Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI) has warned that the new duties will significantly weaken Indian exporters' ability to compete in the US market — one of the country's largest trading partners. The US accounted for around $85 billion worth of Indian exports in 2024, with key sectors including textiles, garments, gems and jewellery, shrimp, chemicals, and leather goods forming the bulk of the trade. The textile industry alone exports nearly $4 billion to the US annually. With the new tariff, margins are expected to collapse, especially as competitors such as Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Ecuador enjoy significantly lower or zero-duty access. Shrimp exports — already under the strain of a 2.49 per cent anti-dumping duty and a 5.77 per cent countervailing duty — will now see total levies rise to 33.26 per cent, according to Yogesh Gupta, managing director of Kolkata-based Megaa Moda. 'This will make Indian shrimp uncompetitive in the US, where Ecuador has only a 15 per cent tariff,' he said, adding that many US buyers are already reconsidering their sourcing strategies. Speaking to Khaleej Times, Shaji Baby John, chairman of Kings Infra, a major shrimp exporter, and a pioneer in the seafood and aquaculture business, said in an age of fragmented globalisation and weaponised trade, India's challenge is no longer just about export recovery. 'It's about positioning itself as a resilient, agile, and reform-ready economy in an uncertain world. If New Delhi plays its cards right, what appears today as a punitive setback may indeed become the catalyst for its next leap forward.' Baby John said the move should serve as a wake-up call to strengthen indigenous capacities and reduce strategic vulnerabilities. 'For India, this is a time to double downs on long-term reforms and localised value chains.' Colin Shah, managing director of Kama Jewelry, said that around 55 per cent of India's exports to the US will be directly affected. 'The 50 per cent reciprocal tariff places our exporters at a 30–35 per cent disadvantage compared to peers. Many orders are on hold, and for MSMEs, absorbing this cost is simply unviable,' he cautioned. While immediate reactions in India's financial markets were subdued — the rupee closed marginally stronger at 87.69 against the dollar and the Sensex dipped just 0.8 per cent — there is little doubt that prolonged tariff pressure could erode business sentiment, affect employment in export-linked industries, and disrupt long-standing trade relationships. Yet amidst the gloom, there are voices urging India to seize this geopolitical disruption as a reform moment. Amitabh Kant, India's former G20 Sherpa and ex-CEO of Niti Aayog, framed the tariff escalation as a 'once in a generation opportunity' for India. 'Trump has provided us a chance to take the next big leap on reforms. Crisis must be fully utilised,' he posted on X (formerly Twitter). At the core of this opportunity lies the chance to re-engineer India's trade and industrial policy. Several measures are already under evaluation, including a proposal to reinstate interest subsidies on micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) export credit under the planned Export Promotion Mission. The Commerce Ministry is also in talks with sectors like marine products to design schemes focused on employment-linked incentives that could partially offset the US market setback. In a broader context, the tariff escalation might also encourage India to deepen its trade ties with other key markets. The European Union, the UK, and the Gulf countries have all emerged as alternative trade destinations with whom India is negotiating free trade agreements. Moreover, the crisis may expedite the need for India to boost self-reliance in critical sectors such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and clean tech — areas where tariff exemptions currently remain. Some analysts argue that Trump's use of 'secondary tariffs' represents a new form of economic coercion designed to enforce US foreign policy goals indirectly. Unlike traditional sanctions, these duties are not designed to block access to goods or services but to drive up the costs of doing business with geopolitical adversaries. That India finds itself grouped with China and Turkey in this enforcement mechanism is both politically and economically consequential. Still, India's relatively restrained response compared to other affected nations may reflect confidence in its medium-term trajectory. With a GDP set to grow over 7 per cent in 2025 and a booming digital economy, India may have more room to absorb external shocks than many of its peers. Much will depend on whether the tariff remains a temporary tool or hardens into long-term policy. If the Ukraine conflict sees a breakthrough or if India recalibrates its oil trade strategy, the US could ease off. But should the current administration double down, India must adapt quickly, focusing on value-added exports, improving ease of doing business, and reducing dependency on single markets.

Apple invest $100bn in US manufacturing to fend off Trump's tariffs
US smartphone and technology behemoth Apple have announced a $100bn investment in US manufacturing, seen by many as a move designed to fend off potential tariffs from US President Donald Trump. The announcement was made during a press conference hosted by US President Donald Trump that was held yesterday at The White House. The investment increases Apple's initial commitment of $500bn in US manufacturing to $600bn over the next four years. Many analysts believe the fresh investment from Apple has been done to ring-fence any potential tariffs being imposed on the company by the Trump administration. Trump hailed the investment by Apple, which he sees as a big political win for him amongst his base of MAGA supporters. Trump said, 'This is the largest investment Apple has ever made in America and anywhere else.' The announcement also coincided with the launch of the American Manufacturing Program, which is dedicated to bringing a greater amount of Apple's supply chain to the US. The tech giant will also provide incentives for other companies to manufacture critical components domestically. Trump stated that it was his desire to see iPhones that are sold in America being made in America. 'Apple will massively increase spending on its domestic supply chain for the iPhone and will build the largest and most sophisticated smart glass production line in the world. This is a significant step toward the ultimate goal of ensuring that iPhones sold in the United States of America also are made in America with the mass infusion of capital it's announcing today.' During an earnings call last week, Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed that the company took a whopping $800m hit from tariffs in Q3, with that tally expected to rise to $1.1bn by the end of Q4. He admitted that the company will try to do more when it comes to the development of its supply chain domestically. Apple plans to build semiconductors across 12 US states in 24 factories. The meeting between Trump and Cook was very cordial, with the US President describing Apple's CEO as a genius and one of the most esteemed innovators in the world, but their relationship has been fractious at times. In May, Trump took to his Truth Social media platform to declare that he expects iPhones sold in the US to be manufactured domestically, warning that if Apple fails to do that then it will be hit with a 25% tariff. In addition to its investment plans for US manufacturing, Apple has also been proactive about moving more of its production out of China and into countries such as India. However, India is now in the crosshairs of Trump after its decision to purchase oil from Russia, with Trump slapping a 50% US tariff rate on goods coming from the country.

Trump says 'important' for Middle Eastern countries to join Abraham Accords
US President Donald Trump said on Thursday it was important that Middle Eastern countries join the Abraham Accords, saying it will ensure peace in the region. "Now that the nuclear arsenal being 'created' by Iran has been totally OBLITERATED, it is very important to me that all Middle Eastern Countries join the Abraham Accords," Trump wrote in a social media post. As part of the Abraham Accords, signed during Trump's first term in office, four Muslim-majority countries agreed to normalise diplomatic relations with Israel after US mediation. Efforts to expand the accords have been complicated by a soaring death toll and starvation in Gaza.
