Feb. 4: The 10% tariffs on all Chinese imports come into effect.

Feb. 10: Trump unveils plans to place a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports.

Feb. 13: The president signs a plan for the U.S. to look at implementing “reciprocal” tariffs against countries that tax or limit American imports. 

Feb. 25: Trump orders a tariff probe into copper imports, signaling a potential trade announcement.

March 4: Trump imposes an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods, bringing the levy up to 20%. Separately, the 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada take effect.

June 4: Tariffs on steel and aluminum double to 50%.

July 2: Trump announces a trade agreement with Vietnam. The deal puts a 20% tariff on Vietnamese exports to the U.S. and 40% duty on transshipping.

July 8: The president pledges a 50% tariff on copper imports.
