U.S. trade policy has been rapidly changing under President Donald Trump, with tariffs as the president’s weapon of choice to advance his agenda.
Building on actions from his first term, Trump has pushed his executive authority to the outer limits to impose tariffs, signing a litany of executive orders to enact higher levies since returning to office in January 2025. Along the way, the administration has frequently shifted the goalposts for some tariffs, both implemented and proposed, spurring confusion among businesses and foreign governments alike.
However, Trump’s tariff regime has been met with resistance, particularly in the courts. Most crucially, the Supreme Court struck down levies the president enacted under the International Emergency Economy Powers Act, effectively wiping out the reciprocal tariff policy Trump announced during his first few months back in the White House.
Despite the legal setback, Trump has vowed to continue using tariffs to advance his trade policy agenda via separate statutes, such as Section 232 and 301. The U.S. has already pursued these avenues with sector-specific levies on goods such as steel, aluminum, automobiles and furniture.
Meanwhile, prior to the Supreme Court’s decision, the Trump administration reached tariff agreements and framework deals with several major trading partners, including the European Union, Japan and South Korea. However, it is unclear what the court’s ruling will mean for those pacts.
