US Implements Broad Tariff Regime; Global Responses Vary

The US has implemented a new tariff regime across 60 nations with variable 10-12.5% rates, replacing previous emergency duties and including an exemption list for over 2,000 items. While the EU confirms alignment with a 2025 trade framework, several nations, including Norway and Canada, are signaling restraint in retaliation, while Colombia defers its response. The new regime is projected to recover 60% of revenue lost from invalidated emergency duties, indicating a narrower scope.
