Government highlights that Ecuador is at the lowest level in the tariff range announced by Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump announced Wednesday the imposition of 10% tariffs on imports from Ecuador, as part of a battery of “reciprocal” tariffs around the world.

On Wednesday, April 2, 2025, President Donald Trump announced from the White House that a ‘reciprocal’ global tariff of 10% will be imposed on all imports. This has caused its main trading partners to generate defensive reactions and an announcement of countermeasures. According to the president, these tariffs include products from countries such as Ecuador, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala,…

The official statement highlights that no country has received a tariff less than 10%, which positions Ecuador favorably within the new US tariff scheme. Ecuador’s Foreign Ministry announced that the US government announced the imposition of a global reciprocal tariff on imports from more than 180 countries as part of its new reciprocal trade policy.

The government of Ecuador celebrates being among the countries with the lowest tariff rate after Trump charges. With a tariff of 10%, it seeks to strengthen the relationship with the United States, while other world leaders criticize the measure.
