See Trump’s list: More than 180 countries and territories facing reciprocal tariffs.

Trump and the White House shared a series of charts on social media detailing the tariff rates they say other countries impose on the U.S. Those purported rates include the countries’ “Currency Manipulation and Trade Barriers.” An adjacent column shows the new U.S. tariff rates on each country, as well as the European Union. Those rates are, in most cases, roughly half of what the Trump administration claims each country has “charges” the U.S. The reciprocal rates are not necessarily the only U.S. tariffs these countries will face.

Europe’s concern over Trump isn’t a universal opinion

As President Trump begins his second term, U.S. voters are deeply divided, with some expecting a golden age and others fearing catastrophe. This polarization is also seen globally. Given the U.S.’s economic size and geopolitical influence, its policy changes can have significant international impacts. A survey by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) of 28,549 people across 24 countries shows varied opinions on Trump’s presidency. In India, 84% view his impact positively, while only 10% see it negatively. Conversely, only 11% of South Koreans think Trump’s presidency will be beneficial, with 67% unsure. As Trump’s second term progresses, the international community will closely watch his administration due to potential global ripple effects.
