President Trump's Tariff Moves Keep U.S. Rates Below Historical Peaks
President Trump has announced a series of new tariffs, including 10% to 12.5% on global goods and 25% on Brazilian imports. Despite these moves, the overall U.S. tariff rate remains below pre-Supreme Court levels, currently at 11.1% and expected to rise to 11.8% by year-end. The Supreme Court had previously struck down Trump's blanket tariffs, which had rates above 15% in 2025. The new tariffs include plans for a 50% tariff on Canadian goods and 100% on generic drugs by 2028, with further threats of tariffs on Europe.
