Government Policy Impact

As of September 2025, the United States maintains tariffs on several countries, including China, the European Union, Russia, India, and Mexico. These duties cover a wide range of products such as electronics, steel, automobiles, and agricultural goods. While the U.S. government justifies tariffs as a way to protect domestic industries and workers, they also lead to higher prices for consumers and tensions with global trading partners. With ongoing disputes and negotiations, American tariffs continue to play a major role in shaping global trade and political relations.
