Nearly half of U.S.-bound goods now face tariffs, reflecting President Trump’s sweeping reset of trade since January, a New York Times analysis finds. Using emergency powers and other authorities, the White House has levied duties touching more than 90 percent of imports; about 29 percent were imposed under IEEPA, affecting over $300 billion, now under Supreme Court review. A ruling against the president would upend a central tool, though industry tariffs on steel, autos and more would persist. Impacts vary: China’s average rates exceed 40 percent, the E.U. faces broader duties, while USMCA partners and key products receive exemptions.
