Dubbing it America’s “Declaration of Economic Independence,” President Trump signed an Executive Order implementing discounted reciprocal tariffs ranging from 10 percent, globally, to up to 49 percent for specific trading partners. Certain goods already subject to additional tariffs were exempted, as were goods from Canada and Mexico addressed in earlier Executive Orders. Also announced by the President was the implementation of new 25 percent tariffs on automobiles and certain automobile parts. These auto-specific tariffs are in lieu of the reciprocal tariffs that were imposed. In discussing the reciprocal tariffs, President Trump also noted trade imbalances in pharmaceuticals and electronics/semiconductors; so, it may be possible that we will see additional tariffs in these sectors.

Keeping track of all of the tariffs that have been promulgated or proposed during the Trump Administration continues to be a head-spinning task. To help follow the proliferation of tariffs in the Trump Administration, I have put together the following list of each of the tariff measures that have been implemented, pending, or proposed since January 20, 2025.

Here is the developing landscape of U.S. tariffs as of April 2, 2025:
