New US Trade Policy: China Hit Hardest as Trump Implements 54% Total Tariff

President Trump unveiled a comprehensive new tariff strategy that combines a universal 10% tax on all imported products with additional “reciprocal” levies targeting specific trading partners. China will face the steepest total tariffs at 54% (a new 34% levy on top of an existing 20% duty), while the European Union will be charged 20% and Japan 24%.

Trump described these as approximately half of what these nations charge the US. The baseline 10% tariff takes effect Saturday at 12:01 a.m. Eastern, with the reciprocal tariffs following on April 9. Additionally, goods compliant with the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement will continue receiving preferential treatment. The announcement comes amid other tariff implementations, including new 25% duties on foreign-made cars and certain auto parts.

While supporters view the tariffs as essential for boosting American manufacturing and jobs, economists warn they could accelerate inflation at a time when consumers are already struggling with high prices.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
