Reciprocal Tariff Exemptions and International Responses: New Report Outlines U.S. Trade Policy Shifts Under Executive Order 14257 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Reciprocal Tariff Exemptions and International Responses" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Trump administration implemented a new reciprocal tariff policy in April 2025, imposing a global 10% tariff and differential tariffs on 57 countries with trade deficits with the U.S. While the differential tariffs have been suspended for 90 days for most countries (except China), this policy signals a return to "America First" principles, with tariffs becoming a central trade policy tool to reshape global supply chains and stimulate domestic manufacturing.

This report analyzes the tariff implementation, exemption mechanisms, international responses, and strategic implications.
