Turbulent Tariffs: Trump's Trade War Timeline

U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to impose various tariffs since January has sent shockwaves through the global financial markets and injected unpredictability into the world economy.

The timeline of these developments shows a series of tariff impositions starting with a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, and a 10% duty on goods from China, in response to concerns over fentanyl and illegal immigration.

Major tariff hikes occurred through subsequent months, affecting global trade dynamics, with U.S.—China relations taking significant hits and negotiations leading to temporary truce agreements. Key trade partners remain embroiled in the economic ripple effects of these unprecedented measures.
