¿Qué países fueron afectados por los aranceles?

CONCLUSIÓN:

Los aranceles impuestos por los Estados Unidos a casi todos los países se han vuelto una problemática reciente en los últimos años, problema que se verá afectado en los precios de productos exportados de los Estados Unidos y que actualmente se está haciendo un paro por parte de China, Corea del Sur y Japón. Se espera una recesión económica en el mundo y una guerra comercial por parte de U.S y China. Porque China también empezó a aumentar aranceles para contrarrestar a los aranceles de los gringos, solo esperemos que esta unión de Asia oriental y que la unión europea presione a U.S para pausar los aranceles y evitar esa futura recesión para todos.

The fall in global financial markets continued for the third consecutive day on Monday (April 7, 2025) in reaction to the tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on most of the United States' trading partners. Investors are increasingly nervous about the possibility of a deeper trade war between the United States and the East Asian Union of China, South Korea, and Japan—something that would likely trigger a global recession. Some voices argue that the tariffs could have far-reaching effects on global economic growth due to the significant increase in manufacturing costs, a decline in business confidence, market volatility, and disruptions in supply chains. (Martin, 2025).

How tariffs work:

Customs tariffs are duties that determine the fees to be paid on imported goods. Essentially, they are taxes applied to products made abroad. So, when a product crosses a border, it must pay the customs duties established by the country it is entering. On the other hand, tariffs represent an important source of revenue for states, as they are a mandatory tax. (CaixaBank, 2025).

Which countries were affected by the tariffs?

The plan includes a base tariff of 10% on all imported products, without exception by sector or category, which will take effect this Friday, April 5. Starting on the 9th, higher tariffs will be applied to imports from more than 60 countries that the White House considers mainly responsible for what Trump described as "decades of trade abuse." (Amerise, 2025)

Among them are China (34%), the European Union (20%), Japan (24%), South Korea (25%), and India (26%). Countries facing even higher tariffs include Vietnam (46%) and Cambodia (49%)—two economies with strong manufacturing sectors that in recent years have absorbed investment and production shifted from China. Only two Latin American countries appear with tariffs above the minimum: Nicaragua, at 18%, and Venezuela, at 15%. The U.S. government did not provide detailed explanations, which experts attribute to the tense political relations between Washington and both nations. (Amerise, 2025).

Conclusion:

The tariffs imposed by the United States on almost all countries have become a recent problem in recent years, a problem that will affect the prices of products exported from the United States and is currently being halted by China, South Korea, and Japan. A global economic recession and a trade war between the U.S. and China are expected. Because China has also begun raising tariffs to counter the U.S. tariffs, let's just hope that this East Asian union and the European Union pressure the U.S. to pause the tariffs and avoid this future recession for everyone.
