As we’ve been reporting, a new 10% tariff comes into effect today, affecting many countries, including the UK.
But this isn’t the first time Donald Trump has introduced tariffs during his second term as US president.
The first ones targeted major US trading partners – China, Mexico and Canada. Trump said one reason for imposing those tariffs was to tackle the threat of drugs entering the US.
He first set them at 20% on China and 25% on Canada and Mexico, before later announcing some exemptions and delays.
A separate 25% tariff on cars and car parts from overseas, announced on Wednesday, also takes effect today.
