Trump Announces 30% Tariffs on Mexico, European Union
12 July 2025 | TalkNation Politics
President Donald Trump has announced a sweeping 30% tariff on **all imports from Mexico and the European Union**, effective August 1. He made the declaration on Truth Social, stating these nations had failed to stop the flow of fentanyl and end trade imbalances.
In separate letters to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and EU President Ursula Von der Leyen, Trump claimed their inaction forced his hand. “Mexico has been helping me secure the border, BUT it's not enough,” he stated.
Trump’s sweeping tariffs don’t stop with Mexico and the EU. Canada faces a 35% tariff, and Brazil a staggering 50%, in retaliation for the prosecution of Bolsonaro. The move has triggered international concern and market volatility.
Trump says these tariffs are **reciprocal** and designed to **rebalance global trade**, but critics fear a global economic backlash.
