US Imposes New Global Tariffs | Honolulu News

Starting Friday, the U.S. slams new tariffs on 60 global trading partners — including Europe, China, and India — hitting nearly all imports with 10% to 12.5% duties. This strategic move, legally grounded in Section 301, replaces earlier tariffs blocked by the Supreme Court and aims to give the administration leverage on trade goals — especially around forced labor investigations. While some nations like Brazil push back demanding reciprocity, Mexico says its rates won’t change, and exemptions cover essentials like oil and gas. A 50% tariff on select Canadian goods looms next month under a rarely used provision. Though the new rates largely match current duties, consumers may soon face higher prices — and the U.S. is ready to keep them up unless trading partners show real progress.
