By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, I hereby determine and order:

     

    Section 1.  Background.  In Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025 (Regulating Imports With a Reciprocal Tariff To Rectify Trade Practices That Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade Deficits), I found that conditions reflected in large and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficits, including the consequences of those deficits, constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and economy of the United States that has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States.  I declared a national emergency with respect to that threat, and to deal with that threat, I imposed additional ad valorem duties that I deemed necessary and appropriate.

     

    In Executive Order 14259 of April 8, 2025 (Amendment to Reciprocal Tariffs and Updated Duties as Applied to Low-Value Imports From the People’s Republic of China), and Executive Order 14266 of April 9, 2025 (Modifying Reciprocal Tariff Rates To Reflect Trading Partner Retaliation and Alignment), I raised the applicable ad valorem duty rate for imports of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) established in Executive Order 14257, in recognition of the PRC‘s retaliation against the United States in response to the actions taken to address the emergency declared in Executive Order 14257.

     

    Subsequently, the United States entered into discussions with the PRC to address the lack of trade reciprocity in our economic relationship and the United States’ resulting national and economic security concerns.  Accordingly, in Executive Order 14298 of May 12, 2025 (Modifying Reciprocal Tariff Rates To Reflect Discussions With the People’s Republic of China), and Executive Order 14334 of August 11, 2025 (Further Modifying Reciprocal Tariff Rates To Reflect Ongoing Discussions With the People’s Republic of China), I determined that it was necessary and appropriate to address the emergency declared in Executive Order 14257 by suspending application of the heightened ad valorem duties imposed on the PRC under Executive Order 14257, as amended, and to instead impose on articles of the PRC an additional ad valorem rate of duty of 10 percent.  During the suspension, the United States continued to have discussions with the PRC to address the lack of trade reciprocity in the United States’ economic relationship with the PRC and the United States’ resulting national and economic security concerns.

     

    Following my meeting with President Xi Jinping of the People’s Republic of China on October 30, 2025, in the Republic of Korea, the United States and the PRC reached a historic and monumental deal on economic and trade relations (Kuala Lumpur Joint Arrangement or Arrangement).  Under the Arrangement, the PRC has committed to, among other things, postpone and effectively eliminate the PRC’s current and proposed coercive global export controls on rare earth elements and other critical minerals, and address Chinese retaliation against United States semiconductor manufacturers and other major companies in the semiconductor supply chain.  The PRC has also committed to purchase United States agricultural exports integral to the economy and general welfare of the United States, including soybeans, sorghum, and logs.  And the PRC has committed to suspend or remove many retaliatory actions against the United States, including suspending tariffs on a vast swath of United States agricultural products until December 31, 2026, and extending the PRC’s market-based tariff exclusion process for United States imports until November 10, 2026.

     

    The United States, in turn, committed to, among other things, maintain the suspension of heightened reciprocal tariffs on imports of the PRC until 12:01 a.m. eastern standard time on November 10, 2026.

     

    In my judgment, the Arrangement will help remedy non‑reciprocal trade arrangements and address the United States’ economic and national security concerns.  The Arrangement will reduce the United States’ trade deficit, boost the economy of the United States, and address the consequences of the United States’ trade deficit by, among other things, ensuring that the United States has access to materials vital to national defense, the energy sector, and other aspects of the United States’ economy and national security; strengthening the agricultural infrastructure of the United States; and strengthening the manufacturing and defense industrial base of the United States.

     

    Accordingly, I have determined that it is necessary and appropriate to deal with the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14257 by implementing the Arrangement between the United States and the PRC.  Therefore, I determine that it is necessary and appropriate to continue the suspension of the heightened reciprocal tariffs on imports of the PRC until 12:01 a.m. eastern standard time on November 10, 2026.

     

    Sec. 2.  Implementation.  Heading 9903.01.63 and subdivision (v)(xvii)(10) of U.S. note 2 to subchapter III of chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States shall continue to be suspended until 12:01 a.m. eastern standard time on November 10, 2026.

     

    Sec. 3.  Monitoring and Recommendations.  (a)  The Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, in consultation with the Secretary of State and any other officials they deem appropriate, shall continue to monitor the conditions underlying the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14257, including the United States’ trade deficit, the lack of reciprocity in our bilateral trade relationships, disparate tariff rates and non-tariff barriers, United States trading partners’ economic policies that suppress domestic wages and consumption imports, the strength of our domestic manufacturing base, the strength of our defense industrial base, and any other relevant factors.  The Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative shall, from time to time, update me on the status of these conditions.  In particular, the Secretary of the Treasury and the United States Trade Representative shall update me on the status and progress of the PRC’s implementation of its commitments under the Arrangement.

     

    (b)  Should the PRC fail to implement its commitments under the Arrangement, I may modify this order as necessary to deal with the emergency declared in Executive Order 14257.

     

    (c)  The Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, the Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing, and the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, shall continue to inform me of any circumstance that, in their opinion, might indicate the need for further action and shall continue to recommend to me additional action that, in their opinion, will more effectively deal with the emergency declared in Executive Order 14257.

     

    Sec. 4.  Delegation.  Consistent with applicable law, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the United States Trade Representative are directed and authorized to take such actions, including adopting rules, regulations, or guidance, and to employ all powers granted to the President, including those granted by IEEPA, as may be necessary to implement and effectuate this order.  The Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the United States Trade Representative, consistent with applicable law, may redelegate any of these functions within their respective department or agency.  All executive departments and agencies shall take all appropriate measures within their authority to implement this order.

     

    Sec. 5.  Severability.  If any provision of this order, or the application of any provision of this order to any individual or circumstance, is held to be invalid, the remainder of this order and the application of its provisions to any other individuals or circumstances shall not be affected.

     

    Sec. 6.  General Provisions.  (a)  Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

     

    (i)   the authority granted by law to an executive

     

    department or agency, or the head thereof; or

     

    (ii)  the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

     

    (b)  This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

     

    (c)  This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

     

    (d)  The costs for publication of this order shall be borne by the Office of the United States Trade Representative.

    By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, I hereby determine and order:

    Section 1.  Background.  In Executive Order 14195 of February 1, 2025 (Imposing Duties To Address the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republic of China), I found that the failure of the Government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to act to blunt the sustained influx of synthetic opioids, including fentanyl, flowing from the PRC to the United States constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States that has its source in substantial part outside the United States.  I declared a national emergency with respect to that threat, and to deal with that threat, I imposed an additional ad valorem rate of duty of 10 percent on articles that are products of the PRC, as defined by the Federal Register notice described in section 2(d) of Executive Order 14195, as amended.

    In Executive Order 14228 of March 3, 2025 (Further Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republic of China), I raised from 10 percent to 20 percent the additional ad valorem rate of duty established in Executive Order 14195, as amended, in response to the PRC’s failure to take adequate steps to alleviate the illicit drug crisis described in Executive Order 14195.

    After discussions between the United States and the PRC, among other things, the PRC has committed to take steps to alleviate the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14195.  Specifically, the PRC has committed to take significant measures to end the flow of fentanyl to the United States, including stopping the shipment of certain designated chemicals to North America and strictly controlling exports of certain other chemicals to all destinations in the world.  In light of the PRC’s commitment, the United States committed to, among other things, reduce the additional ad valorem rate of duty applicable under Executive Order 14195, as amended, from 20 percent to 10 percent, effective November 10, 2025.

    Accordingly, I have determined that it is necessary and appropriate to deal with the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14195 by reducing the additional ad valorem rate of duty applicable under Executive Order 14195, as amended, to 10 percent, effective November 10, 2025.

    Sec. 2.  Implementation.  (a)  All articles that are subject to the additional ad valorem rate of duty of 20 percent under Executive Order 14195, as amended, shall instead be subject to an additional ad valorem rate of duty of 10 percent.  Accordingly, subchapter III of chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) shall be modified as follows:

    Effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern standard time on November 10, 2025:

    (i)   heading 9903.01.24 is amended by deleting “20%” each place that it appears and inserting “10%” in lieu thereof and by deleting “or U.S. note 2(w) to this subchapter”; and

    (ii)  subdivision (u) of U.S. note 2 is modified by deleting “20%” and inserting “10%” in lieu thereof and by deleting “March 4, 2025” and inserting “November 10, 2025” in lieu thereof.

    (b)  The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the United States International Trade Commission, shall determine whether any additional modifications to the HTSUS are necessary to effectuate this order and shall make such modifications through notice in the Federal Register.

    Sec. 3.  Monitoring and Recommendations.  (a)  The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, and any other officials the Secretary of Homeland Security deems appropriate, shall continue to monitor the conditions underlying the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14195, including the status and progress of the PRC’s implementation of its commitments to alleviate the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14195, and any other relevant factors.  The Secretary of Homeland Security shall, from time to time, update me on the status of these conditions.  Should the PRC fail to implement its commitments as described in section 1 of this order, I may modify this order as necessary to deal with the emergency declared in Executive Order 14195.

    (b)  The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, and the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security, shall continue to inform me of any circumstance that, in their opinion, might indicate the need for further action and shall continue to recommend to me additional action that, in their opinion, will effectively deal with the emergency declared in Executive Order 14195.

    Sec. 4.  Delegation.  Consistent with applicable law, the Secretary of Homeland Security is directed and authorized to take such actions, including adopting rules, regulations, or guidance, and to employ all powers granted to the President, including those granted by IEEPA, as may be necessary to implement and effectuate this order.  The Secretary of Homeland Security, consistent with applicable law, may redelegate any of these functions within the Department of Homeland Security.  All executive departments and agencies shall take all appropriate measures within their authority to implement this order.

    Sec. 5.  Severability.  If any provision of this order, or the application of any provision of this order to any individual or circumstance, is held to be invalid, the remainder of this order and the application of its provisions to any other individuals or circumstances shall not be affected.

    Sec. 6.  General Provisions.  (a)  Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

    (i)   the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

    (ii)  the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

    (b)  This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

    (c)  This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

    (d)  The costs for publication of this order shall be borne by the Department of Homeland Security.

                                

    DONALD J. TRUMP

    THE WHITE HOUSE,

    November 4, 2025.


     

    REBALANCING TRADE WITH CHINA: This week in the Republic of Korea, President Donald J. Trump reached a trade and economic deal with President Xi Jinping of China—a massive victory that safeguards U.S. economic strength and national security while putting American workers, farmers, and families first.

    • This historic agreement includes Chinese commitments to:
      • Halt the flow of precursors used to make fentanyl into the United States.
         
      • Effectively eliminate China’s current and proposed export controls on rare earth elements and other critical minerals.
         
      • End Chinese retaliation against U.S. semiconductor manufacturers and other major U.S. companies.
         
      • Open China’s market to U.S. soybeans and other agricultural exports. 


    CHINESE ACTIONS:

    • China will suspend the global implementation of the expansive new export controls on rare earths and related measures that it announced on October 9, 2025. 
       
    • China will issue general licenses valid for exports of rare earths, gallium, germanium, antimony, and graphite for the benefit of U.S. end users and their suppliers around the world. The general license means the de facto removal of controls China imposed in April 2025 and October 2022.
       
    • China will take significant measures to end the flow of fentanyl to the United States. Specifically, China will stop the shipment of certain designated chemicals to North America and strictly control exports of certain other chemicals to all destinations in the world.
       
    • China will suspend all of the retaliatory tariffs that it has announced since March 4, 2025.  This includes tariffs on a vast swath of U.S. agricultural products: chicken, wheat, corn, cotton, sorghum, soybeans, pork, beef, aquatic products, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products.
       
    • China will suspend or remove all of the retaliatory non-tariff countermeasures taken against the United States since March 4, 2025, including China’s listing of certain American companies on its end user and unreliable entity lists.
       
    • China will purchase at least 12 million metric tons (MMT) of U.S. soybeans during the last two months of 2025 and also purchase at least 25 MMT of U.S. soybeans in each of 2026, 2027, and 2028.  Additionally, China will resume purchases of U.S. sorghum and hardwood logs.
       
    • China will take appropriate measures to ensure the resumption of trade from Nexperia’s facilities in China, allowing production of critical legacy chips to flow to the rest of the world.
       
    • China will remove measures it took in retaliation for the U.S.’s announcement of a Section 301 investigation on China’s Targeting the Maritime, Logistics, and Shipbuilding Sectors for Dominance, and remove sanctions imposed on various shipping entities.
       
    • China will further extend the expiration of its market-based tariff exclusion process for imports from the United States and exclusions will remain valid until December 31, 2026.
       
    • China will terminate its various investigations targeting U.S. companies in the semiconductor supply chain, including its antitrust, anti-monopoly, and anti-dumping investigations.


    AMERICAN ACTIONS:

    The United States will lower the tariffs on Chinese imports imposed to curb fentanyl flows by removing 10 percentage points of the cumulative rate, effective November 10, 2025, and will maintain its suspension of heightened reciprocal tariffs on Chinese imports until November 10, 2026.  (The current 10% reciprocal tariff will remain in effect during this suspension period.)

    • The United States will further extend the expiration of certain Section 301 tariff exclusions, currently due to expire on November 29, 2025, until November 10, 2026.
       
    • The United States will suspend for one year, starting on November 10, 2025, the implementation of the interim final rule titled Expansion of End-User Controls to Cover Affiliates of Certain Listed Entities.
       
    • The United States will suspend for one year, starting on November 10, 2025, implementation of the responsive actions taken pursuant to the Section 301 investigation on China’s Targeting the Maritime, Logistics, and Shipbuilding Sectors for Dominance.  In the meantime, the United States will negotiate with China pursuant to Section 301 while continuing its historic cooperation with the Republic of Korea and Japan on revitalizing American shipbuilding.

    SECURING ANOTHER WIN FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: This trade and economic deal caps President Trump’s successful trip to Asia, where he delivered a series of historic wins for the American people.
     

    • In Malaysia, President Trump signed Agreements on Reciprocal Trade with Malaysia and Cambodia, and the United States announced joint frameworks for trade negotiations with Thailand and Vietnam. He also signed critical minerals cooperation agreements with Thailand and Malaysia.
       
    • In Japan, President Trump announced major projects advancing Japan’s previous $550 billion investment commitment to the United States to further revitalize the U.S. industrial base, signed a landmark critical minerals agreement with Japan, secured historic purchases of U.S. energy from Japan, and deepened U.S.-Japan cooperation to combat illegal drug trafficking.
       
    • In the Republic of Korea, the President secured billions in landmark commitments, including investments to support American jobs, further America’s energy dominance, promote American leadership in the technology revolution, and build the U.S.-Korea maritime partnership.

    Joint Statement on U.S.-China Economic and
    Trade Meeting in Stockholm

     

    The White House

    August 11, 2025

    The Government of the United States of America (the “United States”) and the Government of the People’s Republic of China (“China”),

     

    Recalling the Joint Statement on U.S.-China Economic and Trade Meeting in Geneva on May 12, 2025 (“Geneva Joint Statement”); and

     

    Reflecting on their meetings in London on June 9 and 10, 2025, and in Stockholm on July 28 and 29, 2025;

     

    The Parties recall the commitments under the Geneva Joint Statement and agree to take the following actions by August 12, 2025:

     

    The United States will continue to modify the application of the additional ad valorem rate of duty on articles of China (including articles of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Macau Special Administrative Region) set forth in Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025, by suspending 24 percentage points of that rate for an additional period of 90 days, starting on August 12, 2025, while retaining the remaining ad valorem rate of 10 percent on those articles pursuant to the terms of said Order.

     

    China will continue to (1) modify the application of the additional ad valorem rate of duty on articles of the United States set forth in the Announcement of the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council No. 4 of 2025, by suspending 24 percentage points of that rate for an additional period of 90 days, starting on August 12, 2025, while retaining the remaining additional ad valorem rate of 10 percent on those articles, and (2) adopt or maintain all necessary administrative measures to suspend or remove the non-tariff countermeasures taken against the United States as agreed in the Geneva Joint Statement.

     

    This Joint Statement is based on the discussions that took place during the U.S.-China Economic and Trade Meeting in Stockholm, which was held under the mechanism established by the Geneva Joint Statement.  The representative from the Chinese side for this meeting was He Lifeng, Vice Premier of the State Council, and the representatives from the U.S. side were Scott Bessent, Secretary of Treasury, and Jamieson Greer, United States Trade Representative.

    The United States and China are holding crucial trade talks in Stockholm, with no statements issued after a five-hour meeting on the first day, Monday. Analysts expect a 90-day truce extension as China faces an August 12 tariff deadline.

     

    WSJ News: U.S.-China Trade Officials Discuss Tariff Truce Extension | WSJ News

     

     

    Bessent: Trump Will Make Final Call On China Tariff Truce (Full Q&A)

     

    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that the US and China will continue talks over maintaining a tariff truce before it expires in two weeks and that President Donald Trump will make the final call on any extension.
     

    Bessent, who led the US delegation with Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, said in Stockholm that he’ll brief Trump on Wednesday on the remaining issues.
     

    “There’s still a couple of technical details to work out,” Bessent told reporters Tuesday, after two days of meetings with officials from Beijing led by Vice Premier He Lifeng.

    On the heels of Washington’s preliminary tariff deals with Japan and the European Union, Bessent said his Chinese counterparts were “more of a mood for a wide-ranging discussion.”


    The third round of US-China trade talks in less than three months wrapped up ahead of an Aug. 12 deadline to resolve differences during a 90-day suspension of sky-high tariffs that threatened to cut off bilateral trade between the world’s largest economies.
     

    Adding an extra 90 days is one option, Bessent said.

    Chinese trade negotiator Li Chenggang told reporters that both sides agree on maintaining the truce, without elaborating on how long. He added that the conversations in the Swedish capital were candid, in-depth and geared for continued close communication.

     

    Magnet Talks

    At issue in the ongoing dialog is how the two countries seek to maintain a stable trading relationship while applying barriers like tariffs and export controls to limit each other’s progress in critical sectors ranging from battery technology and defense to semiconductors.

    Greer said the US wants assurances that critical materials like magnets keep flowing so the two sides can focus on other priorities. “We don’t ever want to talk about magnets again,” he said.
     

    Greer said the resumption of China’s rare earths exports is Beijing’s biggest concession so far. Asked if the US made any commitments to China on its pending 232 investigations, Greer said China asked for status updates on them, but stressed that the eventual duties would be applied globally and not have any exemptions for particular countries.
     

    He also said China asked about the Trump administration’s so-called 232 investigations into sectors such as copper, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals, and the US explained that those involve global tariffs with no exceptions for individual countries.

     

    Reducing the 20% tariffs that Trump imposed over US claims that Chinese companies supply chemicals used to make the illegal drug fentanyl is also a high priority for Beijing, Eurasia Group analysts wrote in a note last week.
     

    The sticking points in the relationship extend beyond cross-border commerce. Earlier, Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te appeared to call off an overseas trip planned for next week after the Trump administration failed to approve his stopover in the US.
     

    Trade tensions have risen recently as both sides try to apply industrial leverage. China has recently exerted its dominance in rare earth minerals for concessions from the US on advanced chips needed for Beijing’s ambitions in artificial intelligence.

    ‘No Interest!’

    That softening from US President Donald Trump has worried China hawks in Washington that the administration is giving up too much by easing export controls to strike a deal and hold a summit with President Xi Jinping.
     

    The US president late Monday in Scotland pushed back at such suggestion, posting on social media that he’s not pushing for a summit with Xi. “I am not SEEKING anything! I may go to China, but it would only be at the invitation of President Xi, which has been extended. Otherwise, no interest!” Trump wrote.
     

    In the background of the latest trade talks between Washington and Beijing is the race by several economies to sign tariff deals with Trump before Aug. 1, when he’s threatening to impose so-called reciprocal import taxes on the US’s major trading partners.
     

    On Sunday, he announced a preliminary deal with the European Union to apply 15% tariffs on EU goods shipped to the US.

    AMENDMENT TO RECIPROCAL TARIFFS AND UPDATED DUTIES AS APPLIED TO LOW-VALUE IMPORTS FROM THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

    EXECUTIVE ORDER

    April 8, 2025

    By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, I hereby determine and order:

    Section 1.  Background.  In Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025 (Regulating Imports with a Reciprocal Tariff to Rectify Trade Practices that Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade Deficits), I declared a national emergency arising from conditions reflected in large and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficits, and imposed additional ad valorem duties that I deemed necessary and appropriate to deal with that unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States, to the national security and economy of the United States.  Section 4(b) of Executive Order 14257 provided that “[s]hould any trading partner retaliates against the United States in response to this action through import duties on U.S. exports or other measures, I may further modify the [Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States] to increase or expand in scope the duties imposed under this order to ensure the efficacy of this action.”  I further declared pursuant to Executive Order 14256 of April 2, 2025 (Further Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republic of China as Applied to Low-Value Imports) that duty-free de minimis treatment on articles described in section 2(a) of Executive Order 14195 is no longer available effective at 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on May 2, 2025.

    On April 4, 2025, the State Council Tariff Commission of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) announced that in response to Executive Order 14257, effective at 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on April 10, 2025, a 34 percent tariff would be imposed on all goods imported into the PRC originating from the United States.  Pursuant to section 4(b) of Executive Order 14257, I am ordering modification of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) and taking other actions to increase the duties imposed on the PRC in response to this retaliation.  In my judgment, this modification is necessary and appropriate to effectively address the threat to the national security and economy of the United States.

    Sec. 2.  Tariff Increase.  In recognition of the fact that the PRC has announced that it will retaliate against the United States in response to Executive Order 14257, the HTSUS shall be modified as follows.  Effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on April 9, 2025:  
    (a)  heading 9903.01.63 of the HTSUS shall be amended by deleting “34%” each place that it appears and by inserting “84%” in lieu thereof; and
    (b)  subdivision (v)(xiii)(10) of U.S. note 2 to subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTSUS shall be amended by deleting “34%”, and inserting “84%” in lieu thereof.

    Sec. 3.  De Minimis Tariff Increase.  To ensure that the imposition of tariffs pursuant to section 2 of this order is not circumvented and that the purpose of Executive Order 14257 and this action is not undermined, I also deem it necessary and appropriate to:  
    (a)  increase the ad valorem rate of duty set forth in section 2(c)(i) of Executive Order 14256 from 30 percent to 90 percent;
    (b)  increase the per postal item containing goods duty in section 2(c)(ii) of Executive Order 14256 that is in effect on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on May 2, 2025, and before 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on June 1, 2025, from 25 dollars to 75 dollars; and
    (c)  increase the per postal item containing goods duty in section 2(c)(ii) of Executive Order 14256 that is in effect on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on June 1, 2025, from 50 dollars to 150 dollars.

    Sec. 4.  Implementation.  The Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the United States Trade Representative, as applicable, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, the Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing, the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, and the Chair of the International Trade Commission, are directed to take all necessary actions to implement and effectuate this order, consistent with applicable law, including through temporary suspension or amendment of regulations or notices in the Federal Register and adopting rules and regulations, and are authorized to take such actions, and to employ all powers granted to the President by IEEPA, as may be necessary to implement this order.  Each executive department and agency shall take all appropriate measures within its authority to implement this order.

    Sec. 5.  General Provisions.  (a)  Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
    (i)   the authority granted by law to an executive department, agency, or the head     thereof; or
    (ii)  the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
    (b)  This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
    (c)  This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

     

    DONALD J. TRUMP

    THE WHITE HOUSE,
        April 8, 2025

     

     

    Fact Sheet
    President Donald J. Trump
    Imposes Tariffs on
    Imports from Canada, Mexico and China

    February 1, 2025

     

    ADDRESSING AN EMERGENCY SITUATION: The extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs, including deadly fentanyl, constitutes a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
     

    • Until the crisis is alleviated, President Donald J. Trump is implementing a 25% additional tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10% additional tariff on imports from China.  Energy resources from Canada will have a lower 10% tariff.
       
    • President Trump is taking bold action to hold Mexico, Canada, and China accountable to their promises of halting illegal immigration and stopping poisonous fentanyl and other drugs from flowing into our country.
       
    • The orders make clear that the flow of contraband drugs like fentanyl to the United States, through illicit distribution networks, has created a national emergency, including a public health crisis. Chinese officials have failed to take the actions necessary to stem the flow of precursor chemicals to known criminal cartels and shut down money laundering by transnational criminal organizations.
       
      • In addition, the Mexican drug trafficking organizations have an intolerable alliance with the government of Mexico. The government of Mexico has afforded safe havens for the cartels to engage in the manufacturing and transportation of dangerous narcotics, which collectively have led to the overdose deaths of hundreds of thousands of American victims. This alliance endangers the national security of the United States, and we must eradicate the influence of these dangerous cartels.
         
      • There is also a growing presence of Mexican cartels operating fentanyl and nitazene synthesis labs in Canada.  A recent study recognized Canada’s heightened domestic production of fentanyl, and its growing footprint within international narcotics distribution
         

    USING OUR LEVERAGE TO ENSURE AMERICANS’ SAFETY: Previous Administrations failed to fully leverage America’s economic position as a tool to secure our borders against illegal migration and combat the scourge of fentanyl, preferring to let problems fester.
     

    • Access to the American market is a privilege. The United States has one of the most open economies in the world, and the lowest average tariff rates in the world.
       
    • While trade accounts for 67% of Canada’s GDP, 73% of Mexico’s GDP, and 37% of China’s GDP, it accounts for only 24% of U.S. GDP. However, in 2023 the U.S. trade deficit in goods was the world’s largest at over $1 trillion.
       
    • Tariffs are a powerful, proven source of leverage for protecting the national interest.  President Trump is using the tools at hand and taking decisive action that puts Americans’ safety and our national security first.
       
    • Though previous Administrations have failed to leverage America’s combination of exceptional strength and its unique role in world trade to advance the security interests of the American people, President Trump has not.
       

    PRESIDENT TRUMP IS KEEPING HIS PROMISE TO STOP THE FLOOD OF ILLEGAL ALIENS AND DRUGS: When voters overwhelmingly elected Donald J. Trump as President, they gave him a mandate to seal the border. That is exactly what he is doing.
     

    • The Biden Administration’s policies have fueled the worst border crisis in U.S. history.
       
    • More than 10 million illegal aliens attempted to enter the United States under Biden’s leadership, including a rising number of Chinese nationals and people on the terror watchlist.
       
    • This problem is not confined to the southern border – encounters at the northern border with Canada are rising as well.
       
    • The sustained influx of illegal aliens has profound consequences on every aspect of our national life – overwhelming our schools, lowering our wages, reducing our housing supply and raising rents, overcrowding our hospitals, draining our welfare system, and causing crime.  
       
    • Gang members, smugglers, human traffickers, and illegal drugs and narcotics of all kinds are pouring across our borders and into our communities.
       
      • Last fiscal year, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) apprehended more than 21,000 pounds of fentanyl at our borders, enough fentanyl to kill more than 4 billion people.
         
      • It is estimated that federal officials are only able to seize a fraction of the fentanyl smuggled across the southern border.  
         
    • These drugs kill tens of thousands of Americans each year, including 75,000 deaths per year attributed to fentanyl alone.
       
      • More Americans are dying from fentanyl overdoses each year than the number of American lives lost in the entirety of the Vietnam War.
         

    BUILDING ON PAST SUCCESS: President Trump continues to demonstrate his commitment to ensuring U.S. trade policy serves the national interest.
     

    • As President Trump said in the Presidential Memorandum on American First Trade Policy, trade policy is a critical component in national security.
       
    • President Trump promised in November to “sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders. This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!”
       
    • During his first term as President of the United States, President Trump established the President’s Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis and declared the Opioid Crisis a public health emergency.
       
    • President Trump also has a long record of putting America first on trade. In his first term, President Trump successfully used threats of tariffs on Mexico to help secure our border.
       
    • When our national security was threatened by a global oversupply of steel and aluminum, President Trump took swift action to protect America’s national security by implementing tariffs on imports of these goods.
       
    • In response to China’s intellectual property theft, forced technology transfer, and other unreasonable behavior, President Trump acted with conviction to impose tariffs on imports from China, using that leverage to reach a historic bilateral economic agreement.
       
    • Just last week, President Trump leveraged tariffs to successfully resolve national security concerns with Colombia, swiftly reaching an outcome that prioritizes the safety and security of the American people and the sanctity of our national borders.
