US EditionNigeria Affected As Trump Slams Fresh 15 Percent Tariff On Nations
NIGERIA, AUG 1 – The tariffs follow failed bilateral negotiations and form part of a strategy to address trade imbalances by imposing 15% duties on Nigerian and other African imports, the White House said.
- On July 31, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order implementing a 15 percent tariff on goods imported from Nigeria and multiple African nations.
- This Executive Order followed an earlier April 2, 2025 order that placed tariffs on multiple countries, continuing a protectionist trend under Trump's leadership.
- The Thursday directive increased tariffs significantly, imposing a 30 percent rate on South Africa and Libya, 25 percent on Tunisia and India, a 10 percent tariff on the United Kingdom, and 15 percent on Japan.
- The White House called this a 'reciprocal trade adjustment' aiming to address trade imbalances and protect American industries, effective from 12:01 a.m. on the stated date.
- Stakeholders urge Nigeria to engage the U.S. via diplomatic and trade talks to ease economic burdens, as the tariffs risk raising costs, reducing trade, and straining relations.
