Trade Tensions 2025: New Tariffs USA, CHINA, CANADA, MEXiCO, EU 2025/03/12
In March 2025, several significant decisions impacting international trade have been announced or implemented:
United States' Trade Actions:
March 3, 2025: President Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on all imports from Canada and Mexico, citing concerns over illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Additionally, tariffs on Chinese goods were increased by 10%, escalating trade tensions with these major partners.
China's Retaliatory Measures:
March 4, 2025: In response to U.S. tariffs, China announced a 15% tariff on U.S. chicken, wheat, corn, and cotton, and a 10% tariff on sorghum, soybeans, pork, beef, aquatic products, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, effective March 10, 2025. China also launched an anti-circumvention investigation into U.S. optical fiber products and suspended lumber imports from the U.S.
March 7, 2025: China imposed new tariffs on Canadian agricultural and food products, including a 100% tariff on rapeseed oil, rapeseed meal, and pea imports, and a 25% tariff on certain seafood products and pork, effective March 20, 2025. This move was in retaliation to Canada's earlier tariffs on Chinese goods.
European Union's Position:
March 8, 2025: Michael McGrath, Ireland's European Commissioner, warned that the EU would respond "swiftly and firmly" if the U.S. imposes threatened tariffs on European goods. He emphasized that such tariffs would be detrimental, leading to higher costs for both European and American consumers.
These developments indicate a period of heightened trade tensions, with countries implementing tariffs and countermeasures that could have significant implications for global economic relations.
