Trump imposes varying ‘reciprocal’ tariffs that punish friendly nations with few trade barriers

Posted by Hans Bader on April 05, 2025 88 Comments

He calls them “reciprocal” tariffs, but they aren’t reciprocal at all. Trump increased tariffs even on friendly countries that had lower tariffs than we do, which is the very opposite of reciprocity. He imposed 10% tariffs even on countries that we have a trade surplus with, like Australia — which has fewer trade barriers than America does, and has some of the lowest tariffs on Earth.
