What are reciprocal tariffs? Trump's trade agenda explained DW 03/31/2025
Briefly

President Donald Trump has ordered reciprocal tariffs on imports, reflecting his belief that many countries impose higher tariffs on U.S. goods. This policy, aimed at fairness and economic protection, will match foreign tariffs on U.S. goods. Besides targeting high tariffs from countries like India, the initiative seeks to support his 'America First' policy by reducing the trade deficit and enhancing U.S. manufacturing competitiveness. Trump's recent tariff announcements include significant levies on China, Canada, and Mexico, though many are on hold.
Trump has stated that he will impose reciprocal tariffs on imports to ensure fairness in international trade, promoting an 'eye for an eye' approach.
