Tariffs Reach Highest Level Since 1934 Under Trump Plan
Source: Anna Moneymaker / Getty The U.S. is heading into tariff territory not seen since the Great Depression, with new trade measures from former President Donald Trump set to take effect August 7. The result? A potential price spike on everything from shoes and wine to furniture and electronics. Under Trump's newly ordered tariff regime, the average tax on imported goods will jump to 18.3%, the highest since 1934, according to Yale's nonpartisan Budget Lab. The move targets 66 countries, the European Union, Taiwan, and even the Falkland Islands. Among the steepest penalties: 40% on imports from Laos, 39% on Swiss goods, and 30% on products from South Africa. While some countries, such as Cambodia and Bangladesh, saw reduced tariffs after negotiations, the overall trade landscape remains tense. A 35% tariff on Canadian goods begins immediately, while action against China and Mexico is delayed pending talks. A 50% tax on imported aluminum and steel remains in place. We care about your data. See our privacy policy. The Budget Lab estimates the average U.S. household could lose around $2,400 in purchasing power due to higher prices, with a short-term 1.8% jump in inflation expected. Items already affected include: Eyewear : Ray-Ban maker EssilorLuxottica has raised prices. : Ray-Ban maker EssilorLuxottica has raised prices. Wine : Expect up to 30% price hikes on European wines by September. : Expect up to on European wines by September. Shoes and apparel : With 97% of clothing and shoes imported , costs are expected to rise 5–10% this fall. : With , costs are expected to rise 5–10% this fall. Furniture, electronics, and appliances: Many of which include foreign-made steel or aluminum, are already showing price upticks. Retailers have largely absorbed tariff costs until now. 'The new tariffs will impact merchandise in the coming weeks,' said David French of the National Retail Federation. Smaller businesses are especially concerned about staying afloat. Matt Priest of the Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America warned that back-to-school prices are already climbing. And automakers, though slow to respond publicly, are feeling the pressure: General Motors expects to lose $4–5 billion this year due to tariff-related costs. Trump has pitched these tariffs as a strategy to boost U.S. manufacturing and trade fairness. Some of the new trade deals do include specific wins—like the EU agreeing to buy $750 billion in American energy and Vietnam pledging $2 billion in U.S. agricultural goods. But experts say those victories may be short-lived, and some trade partners—particularly China—could shift away from U.S. markets in the long term.

Witkoff set to visit Russia for ‘last chance' talks on Ukraine war
President Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to visit Russia this week for what Ukraine is calling Moscow's 'last chance' to reach a peace deal before U.S. sanctions are imposed on countries that import oil from Russia. Trump on Sunday said Witkoff 'may be going to Russia' on Wednesday or Thursday this week in a push to secure a ceasefire. The president has grown increasingly frustrated with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has ignored his pleas for a peace deal, and last week moved up a deadline for the Kremlin to reach a peace deal or face increased economic isolation. Trump's latest deadline for Moscow would technically expire on Aug. 8, though he has proven flexible when it comes to imposing threatened tariffs on foreign countries. A Kremlin spokesman did not confirm or rule out a meeting between Putin and Witkoff this week, speaking to reporters on Monday. Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council's Center for Countering Disinformation, expressed optimism on Monday that Trump would follow through. 'The Russians have burned down their railway infrastructure in the Volgograd region again,' Kovalenko wrote on Telegram, referring to a fire that Russia blamed on a Ukrainian drone attack. 'Trump is also giving them one last chance to end the war with a visit from Witkoff. If the visit is not successful, there will be sanctions,' he added. Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky and his top advisor, Andriy Yermak, also urged the U.S. and Europe to impose secondary sanctions in Telegram posts. 'Sanctions are working. The economy, geared for war, cannot withstand the pressure and relies solely on the sale of energy resources,' Yermak wrote on Sunday. 'It is possible to strangle the economy with secondary tariffs proposed in the USA,' he added. Trump has threatened to substantially increase tariffs on India over its purchase of Russian oil, which has helped keep Russia's wartime economy afloat. China is also a major importer of Russian oil. Trump has threatened to impose up to a 100 percent 'secondary' tariff on nations that do business with Russia, in a bid to cut off crucial export revenue. Such a move would likely shake the global oil markets and set back Trump's efforts to strike a broader trade deal with India and China. Some European countries also continue to import oil from Russia, though Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a key backer of sanctions, has suggested a carveout for Ukraine's allies. Senate Republicans went home for August recess without moving on a Russia sanctions bill that would have empowered the president to impose up to 500 percent secondary tariffs on Russia's trading partners. Trump has suggested he does not need congressional authorization to move ahead with the sanctions.
