Trump’s so-called reciprocal tariffs are scheduled to go into effect on August 1 after a 90-day delay—just as American families begin back-to-school shopping—and could hike up the cost of consumer goods imported from other countries.

A slew of countries will face steep levies, including a 50% tariff on imports from Brazil and a 30% tariff on the European Union.

The Trump administration is poised to implement a new wave of tariffs, potentially reaching 50% for certain nations, effective August 1st. This move underscores President Trump's strategy of using tariffs as leverage to secure international concessions and reshape global trade relations.
