Trump's Higher Tariffs Hit Imports From Dozens of Countries

The U.S. imposed steep tariffs on imports from scores of nations at midnight, following an executive order President Trump signed last week.
Trump set a 15% tariff on major industrialized economies, including the European Union, Japan and South Korea.
Other nations with which the U.S. has a small trade deficit also get 15% levy.
Some tariff rates are set regionally. Southeast Asian nations, such as Indonesia and the Philippines, get a 19% rate, while Vietnam faces duties of 20%.
In a social-media post, Trump said, 'Billions of dollars in tariffs are now flowing into the United States of America.'
U.S. trading partners continue to lobby for exemptions. 🔎 Read more:

Trump Is Turning Us Into a Doddering Industrial Giant

The American economy seems to be slowing. Although the unemployment rate remains low, the jobs report released this month showed that the U.S. labor market has essentially been stalled since President Trump foisted 'Liberation Day' on us in April. Yes, it's true, the artificial intelligence sector remains white-hot, but once you look beyond it, the weather is chillier — the manufacturing sector may be shrinking, home building is slowing and most employment growth is happening in just one industry: health care. Perhaps this slowdown will soon reverse. But nearly seven months into his presidency, it's now clear that Mr. Trump and his officials' tax and trade policy — and their hatred for next-generation energy technologies — is distorting and, increasingly, robbing the economy of its complexity. And if he keeps at it, Mr. Trump will demote America into a deindustrialized power that relies on technology developed elsewhere and doesn't know how to sell much more than crypto, soybeans and petroleum products. You can see this, first, because Mr. Trump and his officials are waging a war on electricity infrastructure. This campaign is primarily driven by their opposition to the solar and wind farms that they associate with their foils, the Democrats. Even as electricity has clearly become more important to the economy — and even as the country's biggest technology firms strive to secure any spare electron for their new metropolis-size data centers — Mr. Trump and his team have begun a regulatory coup to smother new power development. That war began, of course, with Mr. Trump's signature domestic policy law, which pinched off long-running tax credits for wind and solar energy. But it does not stop there. In the past few weeks, the Trump administration has started an all-out war on renewable energy. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has weaponized his department's permitting process to slow down wind, solar and battery projects nationwide — every step of every federal permit for renewable energy must now pass under the eye of some political appointee. Another recent order has suggested that the federal government may essentially ban wind and solar farms from public land. A separate Transportation Department policy could even restrict companies' ability to build private wind farms on private land. At the same time, Chris Wright, the energy secretary, has killed federal financing for the Grain Belt Express transmission project, an electricity megaproject that was set to zip 5,000 megawatts of power across the Great Plains. Although the power line was fully permitted and approved, it had grown unpopular with some Missouri farmers, and thus with the Republican senator Josh Hawley. In other moods and moments, Mr. Wright has said that the country must build more power lines, not fewer. But in stranding the project, Mr. Wright has endangered a cheap new power supply and damaged the government's credibility. As long as he governs, executives cannot trust the Energy Department to keep its promises. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
