Trump’s New US Tariff Rates: Who’s Hit the Hardest?

US President Donald Trump has announced new tariffs of up to 41% on imports from over 70 countries, citing emergency powers to reduce trade deficits. The move introduces tiered tariffs, with Syria, Myanmar, Laos, and Switzerland among the hardest hit. Countries like Brazil face additional levies beyond listed rates. The changes took effect on August 1, unless new trade deals are struck. The European Union faces variable rates, while most other nations are grouped into standard 15–30% brackets.
