Summary
The tariffs apply from Friday morning 06.01 clock German time (midnight US East Coast time). The Trade Representative has reportedly “received, examined and analysed more than 1,600 written comments on the proposed countermeasure,” the statement said. In addition, more than 100 witnesses testified at public hearings and answered questions.
Furthermore, Just in time for the end of the legal timeframe of Trump’s previous global tariffs, his trade representative Jamieson Greer announces new import fees on imports of said trading partners: a tariff of 10 and 12.5 percent, respectively. This is strikingly close to the previous levy – the previous global tariffs were at 10 percent. Instead of paragraph 122, Trump now relies on paragraph 301, which allows the government to act in the event of proven “unjustified, inappropriate or discriminatory” trade practices.
In addition, The US government was able to collect this for a maximum of 150 days – that would have been the end of Friday. For about 93 percent of EU exports to the United States, tariffs of up to 15 percent applied, said an EU official. He raised new global taxes for 150 days.
Moreover, These are now expiring – but Trump already has new tariffs ready.
