Since taking office, U.S. President Donald Trump's aggressive tariff policies have stirred financial markets and sparked global economic uncertainty. Spanning from February through July, Trump's decisions have impacted international trade dynamics significantly.
The timeline of events illustrates the escalating trade tensions. Trump initially imposed tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China, citing issues like the control of illegal immigration and illicit drugs. These moves were met with varying levels of pushback and negotiation. Deals were reached with countries like Mexico and Canada, but tensions with China and other nations continued to simmer.
Throughout the following months, Trump continued to adjust tariffs, even announcing sweeping changes such as a 90-day pause on certain duties after market upheavals. Agreements with the U.K. and Japan were struck, while new tariffs against the EU and other regions loomed. The evolving situation remains a critical driver of current economic debates and negotiations.
