Key Takeaways

As of August 1, the U.S. has announced new tariffs on more than 90 countries, when including the major trading partners that recently negotiated U.S. trade deals. These tariff rates are expected to go into effect on August 7.
Permanent trade agreements with some of the most important U.S. trading partners remain elusive, including the three largest—Mexico, China, and Canada—which together compose more than a third of U.S. imports.
