President Trump’s Reciprocal Tariffs

On February 1, 2025, President Donald Trump issued three executive orders, expanding the scope of the national emergency declared in the January 20, 2025 Proclamation 10886, due to the influx of illicit drugs from Canada, Mexico, and China. Since April, the President has imposed significant reciprocal tariffs on nations worldwide. Many countries have already and are expected to continue to respond in kind.

The impact on the chemical distribution industry will be significant. These tariffs are a tax on American businesses. The minimum combined economic impact of the tariffs and counter-tariffs could shrink the U.S. economy by $8.1 billion and result in a loss of nearly 40,000 industry jobs.

If you have been or could be impacted by the tariffs, please contact Analisa Puzzanghero to share information.
