Chart of the Week: Evolution of U.S. tariffs by country
With new U.S. tariffs in place, Canada now faces a U.S. tariff rate closer to other trading partners as shown in our Chart of the Week. Overall, U.S. tariff rates are now lower than in early 2025 following the introduction of “Liberation Day” tariffs.
The main reason is China. After the Trump administration levied U.S. tariffs exceeding 100% of Chinese imports, Beijing retaliated with strict export controls on essential rare earth minerals. Both nations lowered tariffs and eased mineral restrictions by mid-2025 to mitigate severe economic and supply chain shocks. The conflict stabilized further in early 2026 after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down broad emergency tariffs.
