Trump Imposes Steep Tariffs on Dozens of Countries
President Trump has implemented new tariffs on many countries' goods.
These tariffs, which range from 10% to 41%, are meant to make it more expensive to import products and encourage companies to manufacture in the U.S. Canada will now pay a higher tariff, while India is facing a 25% tariff.
Some countries agreed to trade deals and avoided higher rates.
Overall, the goal is to address trade deficits and protect American industries.
Trump imposed new reciprocal tariffs on imports from dozens of countries, effective August 7.
Tariffs range from 10% to 41%, with countries like India and Canada facing higher rates.
