Trump announces 30% tariffs against EU, Mexico to begin August 1
UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – The tariffs respond to trade imbalances and drug trafficking concerns, affecting one-third of U.S. imports, including a 50% duty on copper, starting August 1, officials said.
- On July 14, 2025, President Donald Trump announced 30% tariffs on imports from the European Union and Mexico, effective August 1.
- These tariffs follow the Commerce Department's April withdrawal from a nearly three-decade-old U.S.-Mexico tomato trade agreement due to alleged dumping of unfairly priced Mexican tomatoes.
- The tariffs aim to combat dumping and may raise prices on tomatoes, wine, tequila, and other products, potentially affecting consumers and businesses nationwide.
- Restaurant owner Teresa Razo said her businesses could fail without affordable tomatoes and that she might raise menu prices if domestic supply cannot meet demand.
- Leaders of the EU and Mexico remain in negotiations to reduce tariff rates, while the tariffs threaten to increase consumer costs and disrupt trade relationships.
