See Trump tariffs by country and why Washington is bracing for impact

President Donald Trump on April 2 announced a 10% tariff on all imports but even higher rates on dozens of trading partners, including China, India, and the European Union. 

The tariffs range between 10% and 50% and involve some of America’s biggest trading partners. 

"Reciprocal. That means they do it to us, and we do it to them," Trump said at a Rose Garden event at the White House on April 2.

The “reciprocal” tariffs are based on trading practices that Trump said are unfair to the United States.

During his speech, he defended all of his tariffs as "kind," saying the taxes, by and large, they are lower than the tariffs and other trade barriers other countries impose on imports from the United States.

What is a reciprocal tariff?

Trump's approach to "reciprocal" trade is a tit-for-tat strategy to rectify trade imbalances by imposing higher tariffs.

A chart Trump displayed at the event showed that goods from China will face a 34% reciprocal tariff. Imports to the U.S. from the European Union will face a 20% tariff.

It’s unclear how the White House calculated the tariffs other countries impose on the U.S. that Trump cited Wednesday. The figures, calculated by Trump's top economists at the Council of Economic Advisers, included “currency manipulation and trade barriers.”

But even the "half-reciprocal" approach is "a lot more aggressive" than what many economists and markets anticipated, according to Ryan Sweet, chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics.

"The Trump administration is essentially throwing the kitchen sink of tariffs at our trading partners," Sweet said. If they hold, "this is going to give the economy a black eye, but it's not a knockout punch. I don't think it guarantees a recession, but the economy is going to feel it. Consumers are going to feel it. Manufacturers are going to feel it."

The universal 10% tariffs are set to go into effect at 9:01 p.m. PDT on Saturday, April 5. The reciprocal tariffs are set to begin on April 9.

What is a tariff?

Tariffs act as taxes imposed on goods imported from other countries.

The companies importing those goods tend to pass on at least part of those higher costs to consumers, which is why economists warn that tariffs can be inflationary. Some economists predict lower-income households will feel the biggest blow. 

"The tax revenues and price increases from tariffs will leave less disposable spending power in consumer pockets, weighing on economic growth and hiring in the rest of 2025," Bill Adams, Chief Economist for Comerica Bank, said in an April 2 note.

The Trump administration has argued that tariffs will raise revenue and boost manufacturing within the U.S.

"It's our turn to prosper, and in so doing, use trillions and trillions of dollars to reduce our taxes and pay down our national debt, and it'll all happen very quickly," Trump said.

The White House shared a list of countries targeted by Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs in an April 2 X thread. The list is available in the searchable table below.

How will tariffs affect Washington state?

Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson, a Democrat, sees Trump's tariff strategy as harmful to the state's economy and its agricultural industry.

Washington's agricultural exports totaled $7.5 billion in 2023, Ferguson said, noting that Canada was the state's top export market for agricultural goods, while Mexico was fourth.

"A trade war will hit Washington hard," Ferguson said on April 1, according to footage shared by KREM 2 News. "Especially our farmers."

According to the office of Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., Washington is "the top U.S. producer of apples, blueberries, hops, pears, spearmint oil, and sweet cherries – all of which risk losing vital export markets due to retaliatory tariffs from key trading partners including Canada."

Overall, Washington ranked 9th in the nation in exported goods in 2024, shipping nearly $58 billion worth of goods around the world, according to Ferguson and the Office of the United States Trade Representative.

"Nearly $120 billion exports and imports flowed through Washington state ports last year," Ferguson said. "Approximately 40% of our jobs are tied to trade."

Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., said Trump's tariff plan will raise costs for American shoppers and urged Congress to "counter" the president's "trade war."

"As a representative of one of the most trade-dependent economies in America, I disagree with President Trump's tariffs," Cantwell said in an April 2 statement. "His announcement today will hurt sectors we care about: agriculture, manufacturing, and tech."

Washington state exported nearly $41 billion worth of manufactured products in 2024, according to the Office of the United States Trade Representative. The state's largest manufacturing export category was transportation equipment, followed by food and kindred products, computer and electronic products, petroleum and coal products, and machinery.

In an April 2 X post, Mike Pence, Trump's former vice president, characterized Trump's tariffs as a "tax hike" that "will cost American families over $3,500 per year,"

The Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank, estimates that Trump's tariff plan "could cost American households an average of $5,200 every year."
