The Trump administration's dozens of reciprocal tariffs will start this month after drawn-out delays.
Why it matters: The tariffs — ranging from 10% to 50% — mark another escalation in President Trump's trade war, as the economy is showing signs of slowing.
Catch up quick: Countries that are not on Trump's Thursday list get a baseline tariff rate of 10%.
- Trump raised the levy on Canada to 35% starting Friday. Goods under the United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA), though, are exempt from the high rate.
- Mexico's 25% tariff rate was extended for 90 days, also with the USMCA exemption.
- Brazil was hit with 50% tariffs after Trump accused its government of "politically motivated persecution" against former President Jair Bolsonaro.
Between the lines: Many countries' tariffs were reset from April rates to 15%, scrapping a formula that economists said was based on an administrative errors.
State of play: Electronics, clothing, accessories and footwear are set to get more expensive based on the new tariff rate, CNN reported.
- Trump has promised that the tariffs will bring new wealth and jobs to the U.S.
