President Trump Introduces New Tariffs on Imported Goods
- Introduction of new tariffs on imports starting September 7, 2025
- Switzerland aims to reduce its tariffs by 39% on its goods
- Trump plans a 100% tariff on computer chips
President of the USA Donald Trump announced the introduction of new tariffs on imports, which will take effect on September 7, 2025. These tariffs, ranging from 10% to 50%, will apply to over 90 countries. Trump asserts that the new tariffs will bring in "billions of dollars" to the US economy.
Additionally, Switzerland has increased its tariffs by 39% on its goods, which poses serious economic consequences for the country. Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter emphasized the complexity of the situation for businesses and their employees, as the country seeks to engage in negotiations with the USA to reduce tariffs.
At the same time, Trump announced a 100% tariff on computer chips, which could lead to an increase in prices for electronics and consumer technology. This move has sparked concern among businesses that are already experiencing rising expenditures.
Experts note that the impact of the new tariffs could be significantly more pronounced than anticipated, as companies are looking to absorb the increased costs on consumer goods. Currently, businesses are preparing for the impact of the new conditions, but uncertainty regarding tariff policy complicates planning.
