Here’s How Countries Have Retaliated Against Trump’s Tariffs

The barrage of tariffs President Donald Trump levied this week, which sent shock waves through global markets, sparked pledges to retaliate from key U.S. trading partners but few immediate moves to intensify the global trade war the White House appears eager to pursue.

China was first to respond with new measures, announcing a 34 percent tariff on U.S. goods, matching Trump’s levies on China.

Further retaliation is expected: As Europe weighs its options for negotiation, others among the 60 or so countries included in the latest U.S. sanctions are preparing to do the same.

Canada and Mexico, the United States’ two largest trading partners, were exempt from Wednesday’s tariff rollout but remain locked in their own, earlier cycle of tariffs and countermeasures.

Here is a list of major trading partners that have imposed tariffs on U.S. goods in response to Trump’s moves, along with their existing trade deficits with the U.S., which the White House says tariffs should wipe out. The list will update as countries and blocs announce retaliatory measures.

Retaliatory tariffs under Trump: China on April 4 became the first country to respond in kind to the global tariffs Trump issued earlier in the week, imposing a 34 percent tariff on U.S. goods.

In February, Beijing imposed levies of 15 percent on imports of U.S. coal and liquefied natural gas and 10 percent for crude oil, agricultural machinery and large-engine cars imported from the United States, in response to a Trump executive order imposing an additional 10 percent tariff on China. By March 18, Beijing had slapped 10 to 15 percent tariffs on $21 billion of American products, including pork, chicken, soybeans and other farming goods, in retaliation for additional U.S. duties on everything China exports to the United States. These Chinese levies are placed on goods predominantly produced in areas of the U.S. that voted Republican in the last election, including Iowa, North Carolina and Missouri.
