| Boilerpipe Text | NEW YORK (AP) — Volley after volley of new
tariffs
from
U.S. President Donald Trump
have plunged the country into trade wars abroad, creating uncertainty for businesses and households.
Trump is no stranger to tariffs. He
launched a trade war
during his first term as well, taking
particular aim at China
by putting taxes on most of its goods. At the time, Beijing responded with its own retaliatory tariffs on a range of U.S. products. And Trump also used the threat of more tariffs to force Canada and Mexico to
renegotiate a North American trade pact
.
When President Joe Biden
took office
, he
preserved
most of the tariffs Trump had enacted against China, in addition to imposing some
new restrictions
. But his administration claimed to take a
more targeted approach
.
Fast-forward to today, and economists stress there
are greater consequences
on businesses and economies worldwide under Trump’s more sweeping tariffs this time around — and that
higher prices
leave
consumers footing the bill
. There’s also been a sense of whiplash from Trump’s back-and-forth tariff threats and responding retaliation seen over the last few months.
Here’s a timeline of how we got here:
January 20
Trump is sworn into office
. In his
inaugural address
, he again promises to “tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens.” And he reiterates plans to
create an agency called the External Revenue Service
, which has yet to be established.
On his first day in office, Trump also says he
expects to put 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico
starting on Feb. 1, while declining to immediately flesh out plans for taxing Chinese imports.
January 26
Trump
threatens 25% tariffs
on all Colombia imports and
other retaliatory measures
after President Gustavo Petro’s rejects two U.S. military aircraft carrying migrants to the country, accusing Trump of not treating immigrants with dignity during deportation.
In response, Petro also announces a retaliatory 25% increase in Colombian tariffs on U.S. goods. But Colombia later reversed its decision and
accepted the flights
carrying migrants. The two countries soon signaled a halt in
the trade dispute
.
February 1
Trump
signs an executive order
to impose tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada and China — 10% on all imports from China and 25% on imports from Mexico and Canada
starting Feb. 4
. Trump
invoked this power
by declaring a national emergency — ostensibly over
undocumented immigration and drug trafficking
.
The action prompts swift outrage from all three countries, with promises of retaliatory measures.
February 3
Trump
agrees to a 30-day pause
on his tariff threats against Mexico and Canada, as both trading partners take steps to appease Trump’s concerns about border security and drug trafficking.
February 4
Trump’s new 10% tariffs on all Chinese imports to the U.S.
still go into effect
. China
retaliates the same day
by announcing a flurry of countermeasures, including new duties on a variety of American goods and an
anti-monopoly investigation into Google
.
China’s 15% tariffs on coal and liquefied natural gas products, and a 10% levy on crude oil, agricultural machinery and large-engine cars imported from the U.S.,
take effect Feb. 10
.
February 10
Trump announces plans
to hike steel and aluminum tariffs
starting March 12. He removes the exemptions from his 2018 tariffs on steel, meaning that all steel imports will be taxed at a minimum of 25%,
and also raises
his 2018 aluminum tariffs from 10% to 25%.
February 13
Trump announces a
plan for “reciprocal” tariffs
— promising to increase U.S. tariffs to match the tax rates that countries worldwide charge on imports “for purposes of fairness.” Economists warn that the reciprocal tariffs, set to overturn decades of trade policy, could
create chaos for global businesses
.
February 25
Trump signs an executive order instructing the Commerce Department to consider whether a tariff on imported copper is needed
to protect national security
. He cites the material’s use in U.S. defense, infrastructure and emerging technologies.
March 1
Trump signs an additional executive order instructing the Commerce Department
to consider
whether tariffs on lumber and timber are also needed to protect national security, arguing that the construction industry and military depend on a strong supply of wooden products in the U.S.
March 4
Trump’s 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico
go into effect
, though he limits the levy to 10% on Canadian energy. He also doubles the tariff on all Chinese imports to 20%.
All three countries promise retaliatory measures. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announces tariffs on more than $100 billion of American goods over the course of 21 days. And Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says her country would respond
with its own retaliatory tariffs
on U.S. goods without specifying the targeted products immediately, signaling hopes to de-escalate.
China, meanwhile,
imposes tariffs of up to 15%
on a wide array of key U.S. farm exports, set to take effect March 10. It also expands the number of U.S. companies subject to export controls and other restrictions by about two dozen.
March 5
Trump grants a one-month exemption on his new tariffs impacting goods from Mexico and Canada
for U.S. automakers
. The pause arrives after the president spoke with leaders of the “Big 3” automakers — Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.
March 6
In a wider extension, Trump
postpones
25% tariffs on many imports from Mexico and some imports from Canada for a month.
Trump credited Sheinbaum with making progress on border security and drug smuggling as a reason for again pausing tariffs. His actions also thaw relations with Canada somewhat, although
outrage and uncertainty
remains. Still, after its initial retaliatory tariffs of $30 billion Canadian (US$21 billion) on U.S. goods, the government says it’s suspended a second wave of retaliatory tariffs worth $125 billion Canadian (US$87 billion).
March 10
China’s retaliatory
15% tariffs on key American farm products
— including chicken, pork, soybeans and beef — take effect. Goods already in transit are set to be exempt through April 12, per China’s Commerce Ministry previous announcement.
March 12
Trump’s new tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports
go into effect
. Both metals are
now taxed at 25%
across the board — with Trump’s order to remove steel exemptions and raise aluminum’s levy from
his previously-imposed
2018 import taxes.
The European Union takes
retaliatory trade action
promising new duties on U.S. industrial and farm products. The measures will cover goods from the U.S. worth some 26 billion euros ($28 billion), and not just steel and aluminum products, but also textiles, home appliances and agricultural goods. Motorcycles, bourbon, peanut butter and jeans will be hit, as they were during Trump’s first term. The 27-member bloc later says it will
delay this retaliatory action
until mid-April.
Canada, meanwhile, announces
plans to impose more retaliatory tariffs
worth Canadian $29.8 billion ($20.7 billion) on U.S. imports, set to go into effect March 13.
March 13
Trump threatens a
200% tariff
on European wine, Champagne and spirits if the European Union goes forward with its previously-announced plans for a 50% tariff on American whiskey.
March 24
Trump says he will place a 25% tariff on all imports from
any country that buys oil or gas from Venezuela
, in addition to imposing new tariffs on the South American country itself, starting April 2.
The tariffs would most likely add to the taxes facing China, which in 2023 bought 68% of the oil exported by Venezuela, per the U.S. Energy Information Administration. But a number of countries also receive oil from Venezuela — including the U.S. itself.
March 26
Trump says he is placing
25% tariffs on auto imports
. These auto imports will start being collected April 3 — beginning with taxes on fully-imported cars. The tariffs are set to then expand to applicable auto parts in the following weeks, through May 3.
April 2
Trump
announces his long-promised “reciprocal” tariffs
— declaring a 10% baseline tax on imports across the board starting April 5, as well as higher rates for dozens of nations that run trade surpluses with the U.S. to take effect April 9.
Among those steeper levies, Trump says the U.S. will now charge a 34% tax on imports from China, a 20% tax on imports from the European Union, 25% on South Korea, 24% on Japan and 32% on Taiwan. The
new tariffs come on top
of previously-imposed levies, including the 20% tax Trump announced on all Chinese imports earlier this year.
Meanwhile, for Canada and Mexico, the White House says USMCA-compliant imports can continue to enter the U.S. duty-free. Once the two countries have satisfied Trump’s demands on immigration and drug trafficking, the White House adds, the tariff on the rest of their imports may drop from 25% to 12%.
April 3
Trump’s previously-announced
auto tariffs begin
. Prime Minister Mark Carney says that Canada will match the 25% levies with a
tariff on vehicles imported from the U.S.
April 4
China announces
plans to impose a 34% tariff
on imports of all U.S. products beginning April 10, matching Trump’s new “reciprocal” tariff on Chinese goods, as part of a flurry of retaliatory measures.
The Commerce Ministry in Beijing says it will also impose more export controls on rare earths, which are materials used in high-tech products like computer chips and electric vehicle batteries. And the government adds
27 firms
to lists of companies subject to trade sanctions or export controls.
April 5
Trump’s 10% minimum tariff on nearly all countries and territories takes effect.
April 9
Trump’s higher “reciprocal” rates
go into effect
, hiking taxes on imports from dozens of countries just after midnight. But hours later, his administration says it will
suspend most of these higher rates for 90 days
, while maintaining the recently-imposed 10% levy on nearly all global imports.
China is the exception. After following through
on a threat
to raise levies against China to a total of 104%, Trump says he will now raise those import taxes to 125% “effective immediately” — escalating tit-for-tat duties that have piled up between the two countries. The White House later clarifies that total tariffs against China are
actually now 145%
, once his previous 20% fentanyl tariffs are accounted for.
China upped its retaliation prior to this announcement — vowing to tax American goods
at 84% starting April 10.
Also earlier, EU member states
vote to approve their own retaliatory levies
on 20.9 billion euros ($23 billion) of U.S. goods in response to Trump’s previously-imposed steel and aluminum tariffs. The EU’s executive commission doesn’t immediately specify which imports it will tax, but notes its counter tariffs will come in stages — with some set to arrive on April 15, and others May 15 and Dec. 1.
Separately, Canada’s
counter tariffs on auto imports
take effect. The country implements a 25% levy on auto imports from the U.S. that do not comply with the 2020 USMCA pact.
April 10
The EU puts
its steel and aluminum tariff retaliation on hold for 90 days
, to match Trump’s pause on steeper “reciprocal” levies. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says the commission wants to give negotiations with the U.S. a chance — but warns countermeasures will kick in if talks “are not satisfactory.”
April 11
China
says it will raise tariffs on U.S. goods
from 84% to 125%, in response to Trump’s heightened levies. The new rate is set to begin April 12.
Later, the Trump administration unveils that electronics, including smartphones and laptops,
will be exempt
from so-called “reciprocal” tariffs. But in the days following, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick signals that this is
only a temporary reprieve
, saying that sector-specific levies on semiconductors will arrive in “probably a month or two.” And other, non-"reciprocal” tariffs that tax some electronics, notably from China, remain.
April 12
China’s new rate slapping 125% tariffs on U.S. goods takes effect.
April 14
Trump says he
might temporarily exempt
the auto industry from tariffs he previously imposed on the sector, to give carmakers time to adjust their supply chains.
The Trump administration also
launches investigations
into imports of computer chips, chipmaking equipment and pharmaceuticals — signaling next steps toward imposing tariffs on these sectors. The U.S. Commerce Department posts notices about these probes, seeking public comment within the next three weeks.
Separately, the Commerce Department says it’s withdrawing from a 2019 agreement that had suspended an antidumping investigation into fresh tomato imports from Mexico. That termination, set to take effect July 14, means most tomatoes from Mexico will be subject to a 20.91% tariff.
April 29
Trump signs executive orders to
relax some of his 25% tariffs
on automobiles and auto parts — aimed at easing import taxes for vehicles that are made with foreign parts, but assembled in the U.S.
For one year, the administration says it will provide a rebate of 3.75% relative to the sales prices of a domestically-assembled car — a figure reached by putting the previously-imposed 25% import tax on parts that make up 15% of that price. And for the second year, the rebate would equal 2.5% of the sales price, applying to a smaller share of the vehicle’s parts.
May 3
The latest round of Trump’s auto tariffs takes effect. The previously-announced 25% levies now apply to a range of imported auto parts.
May 4
Trump
threatens a 100% tariff
on foreign-made films, while claiming that the movie industry in the U.S. is dying. It isn’t immediately clear how such a tariff on international productions could be implemented, but Trump says he’s authorized the Commerce Department and the U.S. Trade Representative to “immediately begin the process.”
May 8
The U.S. and Britain announce a
trade deal
, potentially lowering the financial burden from tariffs while creating greater access abroad for American goods.
Britain says the deal will cut tariffs on U.K. cars from 27.5% to 10%, with a quota of 100,000 U.K. vehicles that can be imported to the U.S. at a 10% tariff. It also eliminate tariffs on steel and aluminum. Under the agreement, the U.K. is also to buy more American beef and ethanol, and streamline its customs process for goods from the U.S. But Trump’s baseline 10% tariffs against British goods are to stay in place.
Separately, the EU publishes a list of U.S. imports that it would target with retaliatory duties if no solution is found to end Trump’s
tariff war
. The European Commission also says it would begin legal action at the World Trade Organization over the “reciprocal tariffs” that Trump imposed on countries around the world a month ago.
May 12
The U.S. and China
agree to roll back
most of the tariffs each nation had imposed on the other and declared a 90-day truce in their trade war.
The Trump administration says it will reduce the 145% duties it had imposed on imports from China to 30%, while China says it would cut its 125% tariffs on U.S. goods to 10%.
May 23
Trump
threatens a 25% tariff
on Apple products unless its iPhones are made in the U.S. — making the tech giant the latest company caught in the crosshairs of the White House’s tariff promises. In response to Trump’s import taxes on China, Apple CEO Tim Cook had previously said that most iPhones solid in the U.S. during the current fiscal quarter would come from India, with iPads and other devices being imported from Vietnam.
The president also moves to escalate his trade war with the EU — threatening to slap a 50% tax on all imports from the 27-nation bloc starting June 1. In a post on his social media site Truth Social, Trump claims that trade discussions with the EU are “going nowhere.”
May 25
Trump says he’s delaying the
50% tariff on the EU
until July 9 to give the two sides more time to negotiate. The agreement came after a call with Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission.
May 28
The New York-based U.S. Court of International Trade
rules that Trump
overstepped his authority when he invoked the
1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act
to slap import taxes on almost every country in the world. The order
blocks tariffs
Trump slapped on
almost all U.S. trading partners
on April’s “Liberation Day,” as well as levies he imposed before that on
China, Mexico and Canada
. The White House swiftly moves to appeal, but the three-judge panel’s decision casts a sharp blow on Trump’s economic agenda.
May 29
A federal appeals court
temporarily halts
the order from the U.S. Court of International Trade — allowing Trump to continue collecting tariffs under an emergency powers law for now.
May 30
Trump tells steelworkers in Pennsylvania that he will double the U.S.
tariff on steel imports
to 50%. And in a later post on his Truth Social platform, he adds that aluminum tariffs would also be doubled to 50% — marking a significant jump from the universal 25% he imposed on imports of both metals just months ago. Trump says that both tariff hikes will go into effect June 4.
June 2
Days after Trump announced these steel and aluminum tariff hikes, the EU says
it’s preparing “countermeasures”
if a trade deal with the U.S. crumbles. The European Commission says that the 27-nation bloc is finalizing an expanded list of countermeasures that would automatically take effect on July 14 or earlier. That’s the date when its current 90-day pause, aimed at easing negotiations, ends.
Meanwhile, China
accuses the U.S. of violating its trade truce
by issuing AI chip export control guidelines, stopping the sale of chip design software to China and planning to revoke Chinese student visas. The Commerce Ministry says its held up its end of the May deal and threatens unspecified retaliation. |

NEW YORK (AP) — Volley after volley of new [tariffs](https://apnews.com/hub/tariffs) from [U.S. President Donald Trump](https://apnews.com/hub/donald-trump) have plunged the country into trade wars abroad, creating uncertainty for businesses and households.
Trump is no stranger to tariffs. He [launched a trade war](https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-virus-outbreak-global-trade-trade-policy-mexico-39aadae9a6d18de2b91889f1e552b605) during his first term as well, taking [particular aim at China](https://apnews.com/article/china-us-tariffs-timeline-trump-xi-08b5d468e61ba15e760563ef0186b2bb) by putting taxes on most of its goods. At the time, Beijing responded with its own retaliatory tariffs on a range of U.S. products. And Trump also used the threat of more tariffs to force Canada and Mexico to [renegotiate a North American trade pact](https://apnews.com/article/us-mexico-trade-jobs-nafta-trump-usmca-4c6a51df6ebcd2acf5c6863012f9777b).
When President Joe Biden [took office](https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-inauguration-a01d1ffa7862661914cb92b22e359854), he [preserved](https://apnews.com/article/trump-biden-trade-tariffs-china-inflation-1c17b1d223080b7a594326905380845a) most of the tariffs Trump had enacted against China, in addition to imposing some [new restrictions](https://apnews.com/article/china-us-technology-chips-sanctions-bis-8f8ab1ab49b5bb57e5a290a3937fa939). But his administration claimed to take a [more targeted approach](https://apnews.com/article/biden-china-tariffs-electric-vehicles-solar-254546e92f823a78220c195a0a42a10e).
Fast-forward to today, and economists stress there [are greater consequences](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariff-mexico-canada-inflation-1123ada61916502324ca830347ed8d14) on businesses and economies worldwide under Trump’s more sweeping tariffs this time around — and that [higher prices](https://apnews.com/article/walmart-earnings-tariff-consumers-inflation-773f7de5081c40a98c98fbb293fa5f96) leave [consumers footing the bill](https://apnews.com/article/tariffs-retail-consumer-trump-economy-ecd398941ba41d9a94145c5d75da6b24). There’s also been a sense of whiplash from Trump’s back-and-forth tariff threats and responding retaliation seen over the last few months.
Here’s a timeline of how we got here:

## January 20
[Trump is sworn into office](https://apnews.com/live/trump-inauguration-updates). In his [inaugural address](https://www.whitehouse.gov/remarks/2025/01/the-inaugural-address/), he again promises to “tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens.” And he reiterates plans to [create an agency called the External Revenue Service](https://apnews.com/article/irs-trump-tax-revenues-tariffs-eef2ab6930a8672a418af27f61efaed8), which has yet to be established.
On his first day in office, Trump also says he [expects to put 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico](https://apnews.com/article/trump-energy-economy-inflation-ev-oil-gas-00be8d3d5216a328e129666032c889e1) starting on Feb. 1, while declining to immediately flesh out plans for taxing Chinese imports.
## January 26
Trump [threatens 25% tariffs](https://apnews.com/article/colombia-immigration-deportation-flights-petro-trump-us-67870e41556c5d8791d22ec6767049fd) on all Colombia imports and [other retaliatory measures](https://apnews.com/article/colombia-visas-deportation-flights-trump-tariffs-d98900b9626bc481daebe0561d8889e8) after President Gustavo Petro’s rejects two U.S. military aircraft carrying migrants to the country, accusing Trump of not treating immigrants with dignity during deportation.
In response, Petro also announces a retaliatory 25% increase in Colombian tariffs on U.S. goods. But Colombia later reversed its decision and [accepted the flights](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-canada-mexico-colombia-a5ee8bc89b7fbb459ee574c002c90df1) carrying migrants. The two countries soon signaled a halt in [the trade dispute](https://apnews.com/article/trump-imports-colombia-flowers-coffee-crude-oil-432509050d2eba7dd1d69160b30b73c4).
## February 1
Trump [signs an executive order](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-trade-china-mexico-canada-inflation-753a09d56cd318f2eb1d2efe3c43b7d4) to impose tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada and China — 10% on all imports from China and 25% on imports from Mexico and Canada [starting Feb. 4](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-mexico-canada-china-trade-taxes-6c2ae398d0dfab042fc2c9f139b27db5). Trump [invoked this power](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-business-uncertainty-canada-mexico-china-2b01e586faf99bae3438d289f48a1add) by declaring a national emergency — ostensibly over [undocumented immigration and drug trafficking](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-mexico-canada-china-trade-taxes-6c2ae398d0dfab042fc2c9f139b27db5).
The action prompts swift outrage from all three countries, with promises of retaliatory measures.
## February 3
Trump [agrees to a 30-day pause](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-canada-mexico-china-sheinbaum-trudeau-017efa8c3343b8d2a9444f7e65356ae9) on his tariff threats against Mexico and Canada, as both trading partners take steps to appease Trump’s concerns about border security and drug trafficking.
## February 4
Trump’s new 10% tariffs on all Chinese imports to the U.S. [still go into effect](https://apnews.com/article/trumps-tariffs-canada-mexico-china-taxes-910cf9a18fce654597a30dbaaa8d1576). China [retaliates the same day](https://apnews.com/article/china-tariffs-us-trump-150fab3a44ec055845e47c82bde544c2) by announcing a flurry of countermeasures, including new duties on a variety of American goods and an [anti-monopoly investigation into Google](https://apnews.com/article/google-china-antitrust-investigation-tariffs-ab02b906733666cb0d348d2b416b7fa5).
China’s 15% tariffs on coal and liquefied natural gas products, and a 10% levy on crude oil, agricultural machinery and large-engine cars imported from the U.S., [take effect Feb. 10](https://apnews.com/article/china-us-tariffs-timeline-trump-xi-08b5d468e61ba15e760563ef0186b2bb).
## February 10
Trump announces plans [to hike steel and aluminum tariffs](https://apnews.com/article/trump-steel-aluminum-tariffs-import-duties-74d7bfde0da59e111a45e772d199f2b2) starting March 12. He removes the exemptions from his 2018 tariffs on steel, meaning that all steel imports will be taxed at a minimum of 25%, [and also raises](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-steel-aluminum-china-canada-mexico-0a91ceaf3aa3c1756c339817d1d58076) his 2018 aluminum tariffs from 10% to 25%.
## February 13
Trump announces a [plan for “reciprocal” tariffs](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-reciprocal-imports-tax-trade-economy-54c0a26687dc96157d96229068894720) — promising to increase U.S. tariffs to match the tax rates that countries worldwide charge on imports “for purposes of fairness.” Economists warn that the reciprocal tariffs, set to overturn decades of trade policy, could [create chaos for global businesses](https://apnews.com/article/trump-reciprocal-tariff-trade-deficit-4329a37b5a41ac944dcc74093410a126).
## February 25
Trump signs an executive order instructing the Commerce Department to consider whether a tariff on imported copper is needed [to protect national security](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariff-justifications-50f0b4416234e63c7136eaa5c5f96759). He cites the material’s use in U.S. defense, infrastructure and emerging technologies.
## March 1
Trump signs an additional executive order instructing the Commerce Department [to consider](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariff-justifications-50f0b4416234e63c7136eaa5c5f96759) whether tariffs on lumber and timber are also needed to protect national security, arguing that the construction industry and military depend on a strong supply of wooden products in the U.S.
## March 4
Trump’s 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico [go into effect](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-canada-mexico-china-643086a6dc7ff716d876b3c83e3255b0), though he limits the levy to 10% on Canadian energy. He also doubles the tariff on all Chinese imports to 20%.
All three countries promise retaliatory measures. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announces tariffs on more than \$100 billion of American goods over the course of 21 days. And Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says her country would respond [with its own retaliatory tariffs](https://apnews.com/article/trade-war-mexico-trump-9cefdded035a0b35e700a7ba0bfc34b4) on U.S. goods without specifying the targeted products immediately, signaling hopes to de-escalate.
China, meanwhile, [imposes tariffs of up to 15%](https://apnews.com/article/china-us-tariffs-farm-soy-trump-7442b02ac829347f0d4fc6ad0955d368) on a wide array of key U.S. farm exports, set to take effect March 10. It also expands the number of U.S. companies subject to export controls and other restrictions by about two dozen.

Trump grants a one-month exemption on his new tariffs impacting goods from Mexico and Canada [for U.S. automakers](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-canada-mexico-china-lutnick-2b269614084027a4894aa14f3dc16227). The pause arrives after the president spoke with leaders of the “Big 3” automakers — Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.
## March 6
In a wider extension, Trump [postpones](https://apnews.com/article/tariffs-trump-economy-mexico-canada-bfed103a11a2a71d8353350f94c78814) 25% tariffs on many imports from Mexico and some imports from Canada for a month.
Trump credited Sheinbaum with making progress on border security and drug smuggling as a reason for again pausing tariffs. His actions also thaw relations with Canada somewhat, although [outrage and uncertainty](https://apnews.com/article/canada-liberal-leader-prime-minister-carney-trump-467b0b43716f7c51e0b61e75560a4504) remains. Still, after its initial retaliatory tariffs of \$30 billion Canadian (US\$21 billion) on U.S. goods, the government says it’s suspended a second wave of retaliatory tariffs worth \$125 billion Canadian (US\$87 billion).
## March 10
China’s retaliatory [15% tariffs on key American farm products](https://apnews.com/article/china-tariffs-trump-agriculture-farms-midwest-247a85e2cf5b1fd54de4afbf2a30de64) — including chicken, pork, soybeans and beef — take effect. Goods already in transit are set to be exempt through April 12, per China’s Commerce Ministry previous announcement.

Trump’s new tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports [go into effect](https://apnews.com/article/steel-aluminum-tariffs-trump-70479a1206f9d57a3b65747c17f46b52). Both metals are [now taxed at 25%](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-aluminum-steel-e5a6295577275045db3484b71c979bfb) across the board — with Trump’s order to remove steel exemptions and raise aluminum’s levy from [his previously-imposed](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-steel-aluminum-china-canada-mexico-0a91ceaf3aa3c1756c339817d1d58076) 2018 import taxes.
The European Union takes [retaliatory trade action](https://apnews.com/article/trump-eu-tariffs-countermeasures-806a3b9bcc9cd4e45817e672d95f0070) promising new duties on U.S. industrial and farm products. The measures will cover goods from the U.S. worth some 26 billion euros (\$28 billion), and not just steel and aluminum products, but also textiles, home appliances and agricultural goods. Motorcycles, bourbon, peanut butter and jeans will be hit, as they were during Trump’s first term. The 27-member bloc later says it will [delay this retaliatory action](https://apnews.com/article/europe-trump-tariffs-trade-retaliation-df1d05f1602719bcb5c4659fbd3190de) until mid-April.
Canada, meanwhile, announces [plans to impose more retaliatory tariffs](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-aluminum-steel-e5a6295577275045db3484b71c979bfb) worth Canadian \$29.8 billion (\$20.7 billion) on U.S. imports, set to go into effect March 13.
## March 13
Trump threatens a [200% tariff](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-eu-whiskey-cb259623a25ca1bfdb4673262ceef85b) on European wine, Champagne and spirits if the European Union goes forward with its previously-announced plans for a 50% tariff on American whiskey.
## March 24
Trump says he will place a 25% tariff on all imports from [any country that buys oil or gas from Venezuela](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariff-venezuela-oil-gas-tax-9197d606dea29caed6a7a79dd358d26a), in addition to imposing new tariffs on the South American country itself, starting April 2.
The tariffs would most likely add to the taxes facing China, which in 2023 bought 68% of the oil exported by Venezuela, per the U.S. Energy Information Administration. But a number of countries also receive oil from Venezuela — including the U.S. itself.
## March 26
Trump says he is placing [25% tariffs on auto imports](https://apnews.com/article/autos-tariffs-trump-tax-imports-ford-gm-e53823ef7bbb7b3c46d11eca90aaa638). These auto imports will start being collected April 3 — beginning with taxes on fully-imported cars. The tariffs are set to then expand to applicable auto parts in the following weeks, through May 3.
## April 2
Trump [announces his long-promised “reciprocal” tariffs](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-liberation-day-2a031b3c16120a5672a6ddd01da09933) — declaring a 10% baseline tax on imports across the board starting April 5, as well as higher rates for dozens of nations that run trade surpluses with the U.S. to take effect April 9.
Among those steeper levies, Trump says the U.S. will now charge a 34% tax on imports from China, a 20% tax on imports from the European Union, 25% on South Korea, 24% on Japan and 32% on Taiwan. The [new tariffs come on top](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-economic-impact-trade-markets-3e38352ab5693852bfd9bc8dd2ac2d56) of previously-imposed levies, including the 20% tax Trump announced on all Chinese imports earlier this year.
Meanwhile, for Canada and Mexico, the White House says USMCA-compliant imports can continue to enter the U.S. duty-free. Once the two countries have satisfied Trump’s demands on immigration and drug trafficking, the White House adds, the tariff on the rest of their imports may drop from 25% to 12%.
## April 3
Trump’s previously-announced [auto tariffs begin](https://apnews.com/article/stellantis-canada-mexico-trump-tariff-0fb91b75a3c320c4243c95d9671ebd66). Prime Minister Mark Carney says that Canada will match the 25% levies with a [tariff on vehicles imported from the U.S.](https://apnews.com/article/canada-prime-minister-trump-trade-war-autos-d15ae5b0bab873450b86ca524afda3ca)
## April 4
China announces [plans to impose a 34% tariff](https://apnews.com/article/china-tariff-trade-trump-earths-02cd23e913649f32985f075058e787c4) on imports of all U.S. products beginning April 10, matching Trump’s new “reciprocal” tariff on Chinese goods, as part of a flurry of retaliatory measures.
The Commerce Ministry in Beijing says it will also impose more export controls on rare earths, which are materials used in high-tech products like computer chips and electric vehicle batteries. And the government adds [27 firms](https://www.mofcom.gov.cn/zwgk/zcfb/art/2025/art_906685e3930048baa0fd95a651fd628d.html) to lists of companies subject to trade sanctions or export controls.
## April 5
Trump’s 10% minimum tariff on nearly all countries and territories takes effect.
## April 9
Trump’s higher “reciprocal” rates [go into effect](https://apnews.com/article/trump-reciprocal-tariffs-higher-rates-china-9645cf4608a8c153e90bdd10263ccb01), hiking taxes on imports from dozens of countries just after midnight. But hours later, his administration says it will [suspend most of these higher rates for 90 days](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-stock-market-china-recession-deals-e8e54a68397e6829e1d27552a1d7bfb9), while maintaining the recently-imposed 10% levy on nearly all global imports.
China is the exception. After following through [on a threat](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-stock-market-52a00ea2bb92a067ee72343941b02cd4) to raise levies against China to a total of 104%, Trump says he will now raise those import taxes to 125% “effective immediately” — escalating tit-for-tat duties that have piled up between the two countries. The White House later clarifies that total tariffs against China are [actually now 145%](https://apnews.com/live/donald-trump-news-updates-4-10-2025#00000196-2053-d12b-a7fe-a3ff1ec90000), once his previous 20% fentanyl tariffs are accounted for.
China upped its retaliation prior to this announcement — vowing to tax American goods [at 84% starting April 10.](https://apnews.com/article/china-response-us-tariffs-104-d40d497f6e07ee4163d88443cb75ab3f) Also earlier, EU member states [vote to approve their own retaliatory levies](https://apnews.com/article/tariffs-europe-trump-2c4f1519373803ac1f7c1744b69812d0) on 20.9 billion euros (\$23 billion) of U.S. goods in response to Trump’s previously-imposed steel and aluminum tariffs. The EU’s executive commission doesn’t immediately specify which imports it will tax, but notes its counter tariffs will come in stages — with some set to arrive on April 15, and others May 15 and Dec. 1.
Separately, Canada’s [counter tariffs on auto imports](https://apnews.com/live/stock-market-economy-tariffs-updates-4-9-2025#00000196-18d7-d312-a3de-ddf7b4390000) take effect. The country implements a 25% levy on auto imports from the U.S. that do not comply with the 2020 USMCA pact.
## April 10
The EU puts [its steel and aluminum tariff retaliation on hold for 90 days](https://apnews.com/article/europe-trump-tariffs-retaliation-trade-eu-vdl-ad6cde9920b6336789b9e2e9935c69fb), to match Trump’s pause on steeper “reciprocal” levies. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says the commission wants to give negotiations with the U.S. a chance — but warns countermeasures will kick in if talks “are not satisfactory.”
## April 11
China [says it will raise tariffs on U.S. goods](https://apnews.com/article/china-us-trump-tariffs-2e05057e973e1e26d1b95c5be003b4cd) from 84% to 125%, in response to Trump’s heightened levies. The new rate is set to begin April 12.
Later, the Trump administration unveils that electronics, including smartphones and laptops, [will be exempt](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-electronic-tech-exemption-12a8c11485c810a61cbd6e1c63ae8801) from so-called “reciprocal” tariffs. But in the days following, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick signals that this is [only a temporary reprieve](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-smartphones-electronics-laptops-apple-10c31e91d7790bfe8fb004f547109359), saying that sector-specific levies on semiconductors will arrive in “probably a month or two.” And other, non-"reciprocal” tariffs that tax some electronics, notably from China, remain.
## April 12
China’s new rate slapping 125% tariffs on U.S. goods takes effect.
## April 14
Trump says he [might temporarily exempt](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-autos-economy-90eb2a7ac8a662a1fcb2079e56ad6112) the auto industry from tariffs he previously imposed on the sector, to give carmakers time to adjust their supply chains.
The Trump administration also [launches investigations](https://apnews.com/article/tariffs-trump-pharmaceutical-semiconductor-chips-65b528a3ae455b197a26f61f847063ef) into imports of computer chips, chipmaking equipment and pharmaceuticals — signaling next steps toward imposing tariffs on these sectors. The U.S. Commerce Department posts notices about these probes, seeking public comment within the next three weeks.
Separately, the Commerce Department says it’s withdrawing from a 2019 agreement that had suspended an antidumping investigation into fresh tomato imports from Mexico. That termination, set to take effect July 14, means most tomatoes from Mexico will be subject to a 20.91% tariff.
## April 29
Trump signs executive orders to [relax some of his 25% tariffs](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-automakers-factories-relief-25a400c98e02c01c8c54502384e267e1) on automobiles and auto parts — aimed at easing import taxes for vehicles that are made with foreign parts, but assembled in the U.S.
For one year, the administration says it will provide a rebate of 3.75% relative to the sales prices of a domestically-assembled car — a figure reached by putting the previously-imposed 25% import tax on parts that make up 15% of that price. And for the second year, the rebate would equal 2.5% of the sales price, applying to a smaller share of the vehicle’s parts.
## May 3
The latest round of Trump’s auto tariffs takes effect. The previously-announced 25% levies now apply to a range of imported auto parts.
## May 4
Trump [threatens a 100% tariff](https://apnews.com/article/trump-films-hollywood-tariff-movies-415367dff6ae5bb7dc0871db5ac97d48) on foreign-made films, while claiming that the movie industry in the U.S. is dying. It isn’t immediately clear how such a tariff on international productions could be implemented, but Trump says he’s authorized the Commerce Department and the U.S. Trade Representative to “immediately begin the process.”
## May 8
The U.S. and Britain announce a [trade deal](https://apnews.com/article/us-uk-trump-starmer-trade-deal-79d55b8ade0dd8c9265ada9400d079db), potentially lowering the financial burden from tariffs while creating greater access abroad for American goods.
Britain says the deal will cut tariffs on U.K. cars from 27.5% to 10%, with a quota of 100,000 U.K. vehicles that can be imported to the U.S. at a 10% tariff. It also eliminate tariffs on steel and aluminum. Under the agreement, the U.K. is also to buy more American beef and ethanol, and streamline its customs process for goods from the U.S. But Trump’s baseline 10% tariffs against British goods are to stay in place.
Separately, the EU publishes a list of U.S. imports that it would target with retaliatory duties if no solution is found to end Trump’s [tariff war](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-deals-china-trade-02986c700a2d46c8b1ba85afe77d139f). The European Commission also says it would begin legal action at the World Trade Organization over the “reciprocal tariffs” that Trump imposed on countries around the world a month ago.
## May 12
The U.S. and China [agree to roll back](https://apnews.com/article/china-us-switzerland-tariffs-negotiations-b3f5174d086e39b2522ab848ddad9372) most of the tariffs each nation had imposed on the other and declared a 90-day truce in their trade war.
The Trump administration says it will reduce the 145% duties it had imposed on imports from China to 30%, while China says it would cut its 125% tariffs on U.S. goods to 10%.
## May 23
Trump [threatens a 25% tariff](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariff-apple-iphone-tax-170021e8fad22878d0183b5d48971087) on Apple products unless its iPhones are made in the U.S. — making the tech giant the latest company caught in the crosshairs of the White House’s tariff promises. In response to Trump’s import taxes on China, Apple CEO Tim Cook had previously said that most iPhones solid in the U.S. during the current fiscal quarter would come from India, with iPads and other devices being imported from Vietnam.
The president also moves to escalate his trade war with the EU — threatening to slap a 50% tax on all imports from the 27-nation bloc starting June 1. In a post on his social media site Truth Social, Trump claims that trade discussions with the EU are “going nowhere.”
## May 25
Trump says he’s delaying the [50% tariff on the EU](https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-trade-tariffs-european-union-f335ba9aa9d0b36cfe483f6f045c9b01) until July 9 to give the two sides more time to negotiate. The agreement came after a call with Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission.
## May 28
The New York-based U.S. Court of International Trade [rules that Trump](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-trade-court-0392dbd59f548e49ad4f64254ae3f94a) overstepped his authority when he invoked the [1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-mexico-canada-china-trade-taxes-6c2ae398d0dfab042fc2c9f139b27db5) to slap import taxes on almost every country in the world. The order [blocks tariffs](https://apnews.com/article/trump-trade-tariffs-lawsuit-court-73cd7e1e8528336989f091b2b782360c) Trump slapped on [almost all U.S. trading partners](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-stock-market-china-recession-deals-e8e54a68397e6829e1d27552a1d7bfb9) on April’s “Liberation Day,” as well as levies he imposed before that on [China, Mexico and Canada](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-trade-china-mexico-canada-inflation-753a09d56cd318f2eb1d2efe3c43b7d4). The White House swiftly moves to appeal, but the three-judge panel’s decision casts a sharp blow on Trump’s economic agenda.
## May 29
A federal appeals court [temporarily halts](https://apnews.com/live/donald-trump-news-updates-5-29-2025#00000197-1d9a-d850-ab97-1d9aa8680000) the order from the U.S. Court of International Trade — allowing Trump to continue collecting tariffs under an emergency powers law for now.
## May 30
Trump tells steelworkers in Pennsylvania that he will double the U.S. [tariff on steel imports](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-aluminum-steel-e5a6295577275045db3484b71c979bfb) to 50%. And in a later post on his Truth Social platform, he adds that aluminum tariffs would also be doubled to 50% — marking a significant jump from the universal 25% he imposed on imports of both metals just months ago. Trump says that both tariff hikes will go into effect June 4.
## June 2
Days after Trump announced these steel and aluminum tariff hikes, the EU says [it’s preparing “countermeasures”](https://apnews.com/article/eu-us-trade-tariffs-steel-e7f8ac8c69d90cd2564699f1493fa0e5) if a trade deal with the U.S. crumbles. The European Commission says that the 27-nation bloc is finalizing an expanded list of countermeasures that would automatically take effect on July 14 or earlier. That’s the date when its current 90-day pause, aimed at easing negotiations, ends.
Meanwhile, China [accuses the U.S. of violating its trade truce](https://apnews.com/article/china-trade-us-student-visas-2ae671996444c9cd64d635d1b832a340) by issuing AI chip export control guidelines, stopping the sale of chip design software to China and planning to revoke Chinese student visas. The Commerce Ministry says its held up its end of the May deal and threatens unspecified retaliation.

| Readable Markdown | NEW YORK (AP) — Volley after volley of new [tariffs](https://apnews.com/hub/tariffs) from [U.S. President Donald Trump](https://apnews.com/hub/donald-trump) have plunged the country into trade wars abroad, creating uncertainty for businesses and households.
Trump is no stranger to tariffs. He [launched a trade war](https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-virus-outbreak-global-trade-trade-policy-mexico-39aadae9a6d18de2b91889f1e552b605) during his first term as well, taking [particular aim at China](https://apnews.com/article/china-us-tariffs-timeline-trump-xi-08b5d468e61ba15e760563ef0186b2bb) by putting taxes on most of its goods. At the time, Beijing responded with its own retaliatory tariffs on a range of U.S. products. And Trump also used the threat of more tariffs to force Canada and Mexico to [renegotiate a North American trade pact](https://apnews.com/article/us-mexico-trade-jobs-nafta-trump-usmca-4c6a51df6ebcd2acf5c6863012f9777b).
When President Joe Biden [took office](https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-inauguration-a01d1ffa7862661914cb92b22e359854), he [preserved](https://apnews.com/article/trump-biden-trade-tariffs-china-inflation-1c17b1d223080b7a594326905380845a) most of the tariffs Trump had enacted against China, in addition to imposing some [new restrictions](https://apnews.com/article/china-us-technology-chips-sanctions-bis-8f8ab1ab49b5bb57e5a290a3937fa939). But his administration claimed to take a [more targeted approach](https://apnews.com/article/biden-china-tariffs-electric-vehicles-solar-254546e92f823a78220c195a0a42a10e).
Fast-forward to today, and economists stress there [are greater consequences](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariff-mexico-canada-inflation-1123ada61916502324ca830347ed8d14) on businesses and economies worldwide under Trump’s more sweeping tariffs this time around — and that [higher prices](https://apnews.com/article/walmart-earnings-tariff-consumers-inflation-773f7de5081c40a98c98fbb293fa5f96) leave [consumers footing the bill](https://apnews.com/article/tariffs-retail-consumer-trump-economy-ecd398941ba41d9a94145c5d75da6b24). There’s also been a sense of whiplash from Trump’s back-and-forth tariff threats and responding retaliation seen over the last few months.
Here’s a timeline of how we got here:
## January 20
[Trump is sworn into office](https://apnews.com/live/trump-inauguration-updates). In his [inaugural address](https://www.whitehouse.gov/remarks/2025/01/the-inaugural-address/), he again promises to “tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens.” And he reiterates plans to [create an agency called the External Revenue Service](https://apnews.com/article/irs-trump-tax-revenues-tariffs-eef2ab6930a8672a418af27f61efaed8), which has yet to be established.
On his first day in office, Trump also says he [expects to put 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico](https://apnews.com/article/trump-energy-economy-inflation-ev-oil-gas-00be8d3d5216a328e129666032c889e1) starting on Feb. 1, while declining to immediately flesh out plans for taxing Chinese imports.
## January 26
Trump [threatens 25% tariffs](https://apnews.com/article/colombia-immigration-deportation-flights-petro-trump-us-67870e41556c5d8791d22ec6767049fd) on all Colombia imports and [other retaliatory measures](https://apnews.com/article/colombia-visas-deportation-flights-trump-tariffs-d98900b9626bc481daebe0561d8889e8) after President Gustavo Petro’s rejects two U.S. military aircraft carrying migrants to the country, accusing Trump of not treating immigrants with dignity during deportation.
In response, Petro also announces a retaliatory 25% increase in Colombian tariffs on U.S. goods. But Colombia later reversed its decision and [accepted the flights](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-canada-mexico-colombia-a5ee8bc89b7fbb459ee574c002c90df1) carrying migrants. The two countries soon signaled a halt in [the trade dispute](https://apnews.com/article/trump-imports-colombia-flowers-coffee-crude-oil-432509050d2eba7dd1d69160b30b73c4).
## February 1
Trump [signs an executive order](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-trade-china-mexico-canada-inflation-753a09d56cd318f2eb1d2efe3c43b7d4) to impose tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada and China — 10% on all imports from China and 25% on imports from Mexico and Canada [starting Feb. 4](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-mexico-canada-china-trade-taxes-6c2ae398d0dfab042fc2c9f139b27db5). Trump [invoked this power](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-business-uncertainty-canada-mexico-china-2b01e586faf99bae3438d289f48a1add) by declaring a national emergency — ostensibly over [undocumented immigration and drug trafficking](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-mexico-canada-china-trade-taxes-6c2ae398d0dfab042fc2c9f139b27db5).
The action prompts swift outrage from all three countries, with promises of retaliatory measures.
## February 3
Trump [agrees to a 30-day pause](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-canada-mexico-china-sheinbaum-trudeau-017efa8c3343b8d2a9444f7e65356ae9) on his tariff threats against Mexico and Canada, as both trading partners take steps to appease Trump’s concerns about border security and drug trafficking.
## February 4
Trump’s new 10% tariffs on all Chinese imports to the U.S. [still go into effect](https://apnews.com/article/trumps-tariffs-canada-mexico-china-taxes-910cf9a18fce654597a30dbaaa8d1576). China [retaliates the same day](https://apnews.com/article/china-tariffs-us-trump-150fab3a44ec055845e47c82bde544c2) by announcing a flurry of countermeasures, including new duties on a variety of American goods and an [anti-monopoly investigation into Google](https://apnews.com/article/google-china-antitrust-investigation-tariffs-ab02b906733666cb0d348d2b416b7fa5).
China’s 15% tariffs on coal and liquefied natural gas products, and a 10% levy on crude oil, agricultural machinery and large-engine cars imported from the U.S., [take effect Feb. 10](https://apnews.com/article/china-us-tariffs-timeline-trump-xi-08b5d468e61ba15e760563ef0186b2bb).
## February 10
Trump announces plans [to hike steel and aluminum tariffs](https://apnews.com/article/trump-steel-aluminum-tariffs-import-duties-74d7bfde0da59e111a45e772d199f2b2) starting March 12. He removes the exemptions from his 2018 tariffs on steel, meaning that all steel imports will be taxed at a minimum of 25%, [and also raises](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-steel-aluminum-china-canada-mexico-0a91ceaf3aa3c1756c339817d1d58076) his 2018 aluminum tariffs from 10% to 25%.
## February 13
Trump announces a [plan for “reciprocal” tariffs](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-reciprocal-imports-tax-trade-economy-54c0a26687dc96157d96229068894720) — promising to increase U.S. tariffs to match the tax rates that countries worldwide charge on imports “for purposes of fairness.” Economists warn that the reciprocal tariffs, set to overturn decades of trade policy, could [create chaos for global businesses](https://apnews.com/article/trump-reciprocal-tariff-trade-deficit-4329a37b5a41ac944dcc74093410a126).
## February 25
Trump signs an executive order instructing the Commerce Department to consider whether a tariff on imported copper is needed [to protect national security](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariff-justifications-50f0b4416234e63c7136eaa5c5f96759). He cites the material’s use in U.S. defense, infrastructure and emerging technologies.
## March 1
Trump signs an additional executive order instructing the Commerce Department [to consider](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariff-justifications-50f0b4416234e63c7136eaa5c5f96759) whether tariffs on lumber and timber are also needed to protect national security, arguing that the construction industry and military depend on a strong supply of wooden products in the U.S.
## March 4
Trump’s 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico [go into effect](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-canada-mexico-china-643086a6dc7ff716d876b3c83e3255b0), though he limits the levy to 10% on Canadian energy. He also doubles the tariff on all Chinese imports to 20%.
All three countries promise retaliatory measures. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announces tariffs on more than \$100 billion of American goods over the course of 21 days. And Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says her country would respond [with its own retaliatory tariffs](https://apnews.com/article/trade-war-mexico-trump-9cefdded035a0b35e700a7ba0bfc34b4) on U.S. goods without specifying the targeted products immediately, signaling hopes to de-escalate.
China, meanwhile, [imposes tariffs of up to 15%](https://apnews.com/article/china-us-tariffs-farm-soy-trump-7442b02ac829347f0d4fc6ad0955d368) on a wide array of key U.S. farm exports, set to take effect March 10. It also expands the number of U.S. companies subject to export controls and other restrictions by about two dozen.
## March 5
Trump grants a one-month exemption on his new tariffs impacting goods from Mexico and Canada [for U.S. automakers](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-canada-mexico-china-lutnick-2b269614084027a4894aa14f3dc16227). The pause arrives after the president spoke with leaders of the “Big 3” automakers — Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.
## March 6
In a wider extension, Trump [postpones](https://apnews.com/article/tariffs-trump-economy-mexico-canada-bfed103a11a2a71d8353350f94c78814) 25% tariffs on many imports from Mexico and some imports from Canada for a month.
Trump credited Sheinbaum with making progress on border security and drug smuggling as a reason for again pausing tariffs. His actions also thaw relations with Canada somewhat, although [outrage and uncertainty](https://apnews.com/article/canada-liberal-leader-prime-minister-carney-trump-467b0b43716f7c51e0b61e75560a4504) remains. Still, after its initial retaliatory tariffs of \$30 billion Canadian (US\$21 billion) on U.S. goods, the government says it’s suspended a second wave of retaliatory tariffs worth \$125 billion Canadian (US\$87 billion).
## March 10
China’s retaliatory [15% tariffs on key American farm products](https://apnews.com/article/china-tariffs-trump-agriculture-farms-midwest-247a85e2cf5b1fd54de4afbf2a30de64) — including chicken, pork, soybeans and beef — take effect. Goods already in transit are set to be exempt through April 12, per China’s Commerce Ministry previous announcement.
## March 12
Trump’s new tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports [go into effect](https://apnews.com/article/steel-aluminum-tariffs-trump-70479a1206f9d57a3b65747c17f46b52). Both metals are [now taxed at 25%](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-aluminum-steel-e5a6295577275045db3484b71c979bfb) across the board — with Trump’s order to remove steel exemptions and raise aluminum’s levy from [his previously-imposed](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-steel-aluminum-china-canada-mexico-0a91ceaf3aa3c1756c339817d1d58076) 2018 import taxes.
The European Union takes [retaliatory trade action](https://apnews.com/article/trump-eu-tariffs-countermeasures-806a3b9bcc9cd4e45817e672d95f0070) promising new duties on U.S. industrial and farm products. The measures will cover goods from the U.S. worth some 26 billion euros (\$28 billion), and not just steel and aluminum products, but also textiles, home appliances and agricultural goods. Motorcycles, bourbon, peanut butter and jeans will be hit, as they were during Trump’s first term. The 27-member bloc later says it will [delay this retaliatory action](https://apnews.com/article/europe-trump-tariffs-trade-retaliation-df1d05f1602719bcb5c4659fbd3190de) until mid-April.
Canada, meanwhile, announces [plans to impose more retaliatory tariffs](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-aluminum-steel-e5a6295577275045db3484b71c979bfb) worth Canadian \$29.8 billion (\$20.7 billion) on U.S. imports, set to go into effect March 13.
## March 13
Trump threatens a [200% tariff](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-eu-whiskey-cb259623a25ca1bfdb4673262ceef85b) on European wine, Champagne and spirits if the European Union goes forward with its previously-announced plans for a 50% tariff on American whiskey.
## March 24
Trump says he will place a 25% tariff on all imports from [any country that buys oil or gas from Venezuela](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariff-venezuela-oil-gas-tax-9197d606dea29caed6a7a79dd358d26a), in addition to imposing new tariffs on the South American country itself, starting April 2.
The tariffs would most likely add to the taxes facing China, which in 2023 bought 68% of the oil exported by Venezuela, per the U.S. Energy Information Administration. But a number of countries also receive oil from Venezuela — including the U.S. itself.
## March 26
Trump says he is placing [25% tariffs on auto imports](https://apnews.com/article/autos-tariffs-trump-tax-imports-ford-gm-e53823ef7bbb7b3c46d11eca90aaa638). These auto imports will start being collected April 3 — beginning with taxes on fully-imported cars. The tariffs are set to then expand to applicable auto parts in the following weeks, through May 3.
## April 2
Trump [announces his long-promised “reciprocal” tariffs](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-liberation-day-2a031b3c16120a5672a6ddd01da09933) — declaring a 10% baseline tax on imports across the board starting April 5, as well as higher rates for dozens of nations that run trade surpluses with the U.S. to take effect April 9.
Among those steeper levies, Trump says the U.S. will now charge a 34% tax on imports from China, a 20% tax on imports from the European Union, 25% on South Korea, 24% on Japan and 32% on Taiwan. The [new tariffs come on top](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-economic-impact-trade-markets-3e38352ab5693852bfd9bc8dd2ac2d56) of previously-imposed levies, including the 20% tax Trump announced on all Chinese imports earlier this year.
Meanwhile, for Canada and Mexico, the White House says USMCA-compliant imports can continue to enter the U.S. duty-free. Once the two countries have satisfied Trump’s demands on immigration and drug trafficking, the White House adds, the tariff on the rest of their imports may drop from 25% to 12%.
## April 3
Trump’s previously-announced [auto tariffs begin](https://apnews.com/article/stellantis-canada-mexico-trump-tariff-0fb91b75a3c320c4243c95d9671ebd66). Prime Minister Mark Carney says that Canada will match the 25% levies with a [tariff on vehicles imported from the U.S.](https://apnews.com/article/canada-prime-minister-trump-trade-war-autos-d15ae5b0bab873450b86ca524afda3ca)
## April 4
China announces [plans to impose a 34% tariff](https://apnews.com/article/china-tariff-trade-trump-earths-02cd23e913649f32985f075058e787c4) on imports of all U.S. products beginning April 10, matching Trump’s new “reciprocal” tariff on Chinese goods, as part of a flurry of retaliatory measures.
The Commerce Ministry in Beijing says it will also impose more export controls on rare earths, which are materials used in high-tech products like computer chips and electric vehicle batteries. And the government adds [27 firms](https://www.mofcom.gov.cn/zwgk/zcfb/art/2025/art_906685e3930048baa0fd95a651fd628d.html) to lists of companies subject to trade sanctions or export controls.
## April 5
Trump’s 10% minimum tariff on nearly all countries and territories takes effect.
## April 9
Trump’s higher “reciprocal” rates [go into effect](https://apnews.com/article/trump-reciprocal-tariffs-higher-rates-china-9645cf4608a8c153e90bdd10263ccb01), hiking taxes on imports from dozens of countries just after midnight. But hours later, his administration says it will [suspend most of these higher rates for 90 days](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-stock-market-china-recession-deals-e8e54a68397e6829e1d27552a1d7bfb9), while maintaining the recently-imposed 10% levy on nearly all global imports.
China is the exception. After following through [on a threat](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-stock-market-52a00ea2bb92a067ee72343941b02cd4) to raise levies against China to a total of 104%, Trump says he will now raise those import taxes to 125% “effective immediately” — escalating tit-for-tat duties that have piled up between the two countries. The White House later clarifies that total tariffs against China are [actually now 145%](https://apnews.com/live/donald-trump-news-updates-4-10-2025#00000196-2053-d12b-a7fe-a3ff1ec90000), once his previous 20% fentanyl tariffs are accounted for.
China upped its retaliation prior to this announcement — vowing to tax American goods [at 84% starting April 10.](https://apnews.com/article/china-response-us-tariffs-104-d40d497f6e07ee4163d88443cb75ab3f) Also earlier, EU member states [vote to approve their own retaliatory levies](https://apnews.com/article/tariffs-europe-trump-2c4f1519373803ac1f7c1744b69812d0) on 20.9 billion euros (\$23 billion) of U.S. goods in response to Trump’s previously-imposed steel and aluminum tariffs. The EU’s executive commission doesn’t immediately specify which imports it will tax, but notes its counter tariffs will come in stages — with some set to arrive on April 15, and others May 15 and Dec. 1.
Separately, Canada’s [counter tariffs on auto imports](https://apnews.com/live/stock-market-economy-tariffs-updates-4-9-2025#00000196-18d7-d312-a3de-ddf7b4390000) take effect. The country implements a 25% levy on auto imports from the U.S. that do not comply with the 2020 USMCA pact.
## April 10
The EU puts [its steel and aluminum tariff retaliation on hold for 90 days](https://apnews.com/article/europe-trump-tariffs-retaliation-trade-eu-vdl-ad6cde9920b6336789b9e2e9935c69fb), to match Trump’s pause on steeper “reciprocal” levies. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says the commission wants to give negotiations with the U.S. a chance — but warns countermeasures will kick in if talks “are not satisfactory.”
## April 11
China [says it will raise tariffs on U.S. goods](https://apnews.com/article/china-us-trump-tariffs-2e05057e973e1e26d1b95c5be003b4cd) from 84% to 125%, in response to Trump’s heightened levies. The new rate is set to begin April 12.
Later, the Trump administration unveils that electronics, including smartphones and laptops, [will be exempt](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-electronic-tech-exemption-12a8c11485c810a61cbd6e1c63ae8801) from so-called “reciprocal” tariffs. But in the days following, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick signals that this is [only a temporary reprieve](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-smartphones-electronics-laptops-apple-10c31e91d7790bfe8fb004f547109359), saying that sector-specific levies on semiconductors will arrive in “probably a month or two.” And other, non-"reciprocal” tariffs that tax some electronics, notably from China, remain.
## April 12
China’s new rate slapping 125% tariffs on U.S. goods takes effect.
## April 14
Trump says he [might temporarily exempt](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-autos-economy-90eb2a7ac8a662a1fcb2079e56ad6112) the auto industry from tariffs he previously imposed on the sector, to give carmakers time to adjust their supply chains.
The Trump administration also [launches investigations](https://apnews.com/article/tariffs-trump-pharmaceutical-semiconductor-chips-65b528a3ae455b197a26f61f847063ef) into imports of computer chips, chipmaking equipment and pharmaceuticals — signaling next steps toward imposing tariffs on these sectors. The U.S. Commerce Department posts notices about these probes, seeking public comment within the next three weeks.
Separately, the Commerce Department says it’s withdrawing from a 2019 agreement that had suspended an antidumping investigation into fresh tomato imports from Mexico. That termination, set to take effect July 14, means most tomatoes from Mexico will be subject to a 20.91% tariff.
## April 29
Trump signs executive orders to [relax some of his 25% tariffs](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-automakers-factories-relief-25a400c98e02c01c8c54502384e267e1) on automobiles and auto parts — aimed at easing import taxes for vehicles that are made with foreign parts, but assembled in the U.S.
For one year, the administration says it will provide a rebate of 3.75% relative to the sales prices of a domestically-assembled car — a figure reached by putting the previously-imposed 25% import tax on parts that make up 15% of that price. And for the second year, the rebate would equal 2.5% of the sales price, applying to a smaller share of the vehicle’s parts.
## May 3
The latest round of Trump’s auto tariffs takes effect. The previously-announced 25% levies now apply to a range of imported auto parts.
## May 4
Trump [threatens a 100% tariff](https://apnews.com/article/trump-films-hollywood-tariff-movies-415367dff6ae5bb7dc0871db5ac97d48) on foreign-made films, while claiming that the movie industry in the U.S. is dying. It isn’t immediately clear how such a tariff on international productions could be implemented, but Trump says he’s authorized the Commerce Department and the U.S. Trade Representative to “immediately begin the process.”
## May 8
The U.S. and Britain announce a [trade deal](https://apnews.com/article/us-uk-trump-starmer-trade-deal-79d55b8ade0dd8c9265ada9400d079db), potentially lowering the financial burden from tariffs while creating greater access abroad for American goods.
Britain says the deal will cut tariffs on U.K. cars from 27.5% to 10%, with a quota of 100,000 U.K. vehicles that can be imported to the U.S. at a 10% tariff. It also eliminate tariffs on steel and aluminum. Under the agreement, the U.K. is also to buy more American beef and ethanol, and streamline its customs process for goods from the U.S. But Trump’s baseline 10% tariffs against British goods are to stay in place.
Separately, the EU publishes a list of U.S. imports that it would target with retaliatory duties if no solution is found to end Trump’s [tariff war](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-deals-china-trade-02986c700a2d46c8b1ba85afe77d139f). The European Commission also says it would begin legal action at the World Trade Organization over the “reciprocal tariffs” that Trump imposed on countries around the world a month ago.
## May 12
The U.S. and China [agree to roll back](https://apnews.com/article/china-us-switzerland-tariffs-negotiations-b3f5174d086e39b2522ab848ddad9372) most of the tariffs each nation had imposed on the other and declared a 90-day truce in their trade war.
The Trump administration says it will reduce the 145% duties it had imposed on imports from China to 30%, while China says it would cut its 125% tariffs on U.S. goods to 10%.
## May 23
Trump [threatens a 25% tariff](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariff-apple-iphone-tax-170021e8fad22878d0183b5d48971087) on Apple products unless its iPhones are made in the U.S. — making the tech giant the latest company caught in the crosshairs of the White House’s tariff promises. In response to Trump’s import taxes on China, Apple CEO Tim Cook had previously said that most iPhones solid in the U.S. during the current fiscal quarter would come from India, with iPads and other devices being imported from Vietnam.
The president also moves to escalate his trade war with the EU — threatening to slap a 50% tax on all imports from the 27-nation bloc starting June 1. In a post on his social media site Truth Social, Trump claims that trade discussions with the EU are “going nowhere.”
## May 25
Trump says he’s delaying the [50% tariff on the EU](https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-trade-tariffs-european-union-f335ba9aa9d0b36cfe483f6f045c9b01) until July 9 to give the two sides more time to negotiate. The agreement came after a call with Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission.
## May 28
The New York-based U.S. Court of International Trade [rules that Trump](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-trade-court-0392dbd59f548e49ad4f64254ae3f94a) overstepped his authority when he invoked the [1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-mexico-canada-china-trade-taxes-6c2ae398d0dfab042fc2c9f139b27db5) to slap import taxes on almost every country in the world. The order [blocks tariffs](https://apnews.com/article/trump-trade-tariffs-lawsuit-court-73cd7e1e8528336989f091b2b782360c) Trump slapped on [almost all U.S. trading partners](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-stock-market-china-recession-deals-e8e54a68397e6829e1d27552a1d7bfb9) on April’s “Liberation Day,” as well as levies he imposed before that on [China, Mexico and Canada](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-trade-china-mexico-canada-inflation-753a09d56cd318f2eb1d2efe3c43b7d4). The White House swiftly moves to appeal, but the three-judge panel’s decision casts a sharp blow on Trump’s economic agenda.
## May 29
A federal appeals court [temporarily halts](https://apnews.com/live/donald-trump-news-updates-5-29-2025#00000197-1d9a-d850-ab97-1d9aa8680000) the order from the U.S. Court of International Trade — allowing Trump to continue collecting tariffs under an emergency powers law for now.
## May 30
Trump tells steelworkers in Pennsylvania that he will double the U.S. [tariff on steel imports](https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-aluminum-steel-e5a6295577275045db3484b71c979bfb) to 50%. And in a later post on his Truth Social platform, he adds that aluminum tariffs would also be doubled to 50% — marking a significant jump from the universal 25% he imposed on imports of both metals just months ago.
