US EditionTrump Overturned Decades of US Trade Policy in 2025
Trump’s tariffs in 2025 raised over $236 billion and pushed the U.S. into global trade wars while courts debate the president’s authority to impose sweeping levies.
- This year, President Donald Trump launched a barrage of new tariffs in 2025, plunging the United States into trade wars with nearly every country.
- Amid erratic rollouts, the administration issued on-again/off-again tariff threats often tied to personal or political motivations, while Trump argued levies would recover wealth he said was `stolen` and narrow the trade deficit.
- Peterson Institute calculations show U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports now total 47.5%, and the effective U.S. tariff rate peaked in April and was nearly 17% by November.
- Tariffs have raised tens of billions for the Treasury, while the U.S. trade deficit narrowed from $136.4 billion in March to $52.8 billion in September.
- Federal courts blocked parts of the emergency-powers orders, U.S. appeals courts allowed collections, and the dispute reached the U.S. Supreme Court amid retaliation and nearly 25% drop in imports from China.
