Summary
July 2026, 3:00 AM For most imports from the European Union, a tariff of up to 15 percent continues to apply. (Archive image) © Hauke-Christian Dittrich/dpa For Donald Trump, tariffs against unpopular allies and trading partners are a proven means of enforcing US interests. Accordingly, the European Union (EU), Great Britain and Switzerland, but also countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, as well as Canada and China, must expect additional tariffs between 10 and 12.5 percent. The basis for the new import fees is Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which allows the imposition of a duty of up to 15 percent for a maximum of 150 days.
Furthermore, For about 93 percent of EU exports to the United States, tariffs of up to 15 percent applied, said an EU official. At the political level, however, the US side assured Europeans that they would respect the maximum customs border of 15 percent, said the EU official. Theoretically, Trump can use the same trade law from 1974 to impose new tariffs based on another paragraph.
In addition, This was recently the case with Brazil, when US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced a tariff of 25 percent on certain goods from the South American country. For the remaining products, however, the rate is higher: this applies, for example, to cheese, which is effectively subject to a tariff of nearly 25 percent. After his defeat before the US Supreme Court, Trump did not let up and imposed new global duties for 150 days.
