Trump's 10% Tariff: A Global Trade Shake-Up

The United States has begun enforcing President Donald Trump's controversial 10% tariff on imports, marking a significant departure from post-World War II trade norms. This "baseline" tariff, effective at U.S. ports and customs warehouses, is the first step in a broader strategy that includes higher levies on goods from major trading partners.
