In a significant move reshaping international trade, President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday, introducing new tariffs on U.S. imports from multiple countries. The tariffs, ranging from 10% to 41%, are part of a reciprocal trade strategy aimed at balancing global economic dynamics.

Key countries impacted include India, Taiwan, and South Africa, with respective tariff rates set at 25%, 20%, and 30% on their exports to the U.S. This decision underscores the administration's commitment to addressing perceived trade imbalances and fortifying domestic economic interests.
