Further Modifying Reciprocal Tariff Rates To Reflect Ongoing Discussions With the People's Republic of China
This executive order extends until November 10, 2025 the suspension of higher reciprocal tariff rates on Chinese imports that was originally set to expire on August 12, 2025. The extension reflects ongoing U.S.-China trade discussions and steps China has taken toward addressing non-reciprocal trade arrangements.
Modifying Reciprocal Tariff Rates To Reflect Discussions With the People's Republic of China
This executive order temporarily reduces additional U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 10% for 90 days following U.S.-China trade discussions, while also lowering de minimis postal duties from 120% to 54%. The modifications take effect May 14, 2025, with certain provisions set to expire after 90 days unless extended.
Ensuring National Security and Economic Resilience Through Section 232 Actions on Processed Critical Minerals and Derivative Products
This executive order directs the Secretary of Commerce to launch a Section 232 national security investigation into imports of processed critical minerals (including rare earth elements) and their derivative products, such as semiconductors, batteries, electric vehicles, and defense components. The investigation must produce a draft interim report within 90 days and a final report with recommendations within 180 days, potentially leading to tariffs, import restrictions, or other measures to reduce U.S. supply chain dependence on foreign sources—particularly those engaging in market manipulation.
Defending American Companies and Innovators From Overseas Extortion and Unfair Fines and Penalties
This memorandum directs multiple agencies to investigate and counter foreign tax and regulatory practices—particularly digital services taxes (DSTs) and content moderation requirements—that the administration views as discriminatory against U.S. companies. It mandates renewed Section 301 investigations into DSTs of six countries, potential new investigations including Canada's DST, and reviews of EU/UK practices affecting free speech and data flows, with responsive tariffs and other actions threatened.
Reciprocal Trade and Tariffs
This memorandum establishes a 'Fair and Reciprocal Plan' to reduce the U.S. goods trade deficit by directing agencies to investigate non-reciprocal trade arrangements with all trading partners and propose remedies, including potential reciprocal tariffs. It broadly defines unfair practices to include foreign tariffs, VATs, non-tariff barriers, currency manipulation, wage suppression, and other market access limitations.
