GMB warns Trump’s 10%–12.5% tariffs on 60 trade partners will cut jobs and wages worldwide
The US imposed 10%–12.5% broad import tariffs on 60 partners, escalating trade friction and raising global supply chain costs. While exemptions remain for selected commodities and industrial inputs (including oil, gas, steel, aluminum and copper), the broader coverage increases uncertainty for manufacturers and cross-border trade flows. Risk sentiment may weaken as markets reassess growth and margin pressures, while FX and rates price a more defensive macro stance.

The Trump administration has imposed blanket import tariffs of 10%–12.5% on 60 trading partners, including China, Britain and the European Union, arguing they have failed to properly address forced labour. The move replaces identical temporary levies that were due to expire and extends the policy to a wider set of imports. While some key industrial goods such as aluminum and copper are exempt, the measures are expected to raise input costs for manufacturers globally and reshape cross-border supply chain costs.
