US President Donald Trump is threatening other countries with 25 percent tariffs on imported cars, and similar or higher duties on pharmaceuticals and semiconductors as he turns up the heat on some of the biggest US trading partners.
After announcing a "fair and reciprocal plan... to correct longstanding imbalances in international trade" in mid-February, Trump outlined further details of the levies facing key industries at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Tuesday.
Here is the current state of play:
25% on cars, chips and pharmaceuticals
Tariffs on the automobile industry would "be in the neighborhood of 25 percent," with specifics to come around April 2, Trump told reporters.
For pharmaceuticals and microchips, "it'll be 25 percent and higher, and it'll go very substantially higher over (the) course of a year", he said.
Tokyo underlined "the importance of Japan's auto industry", but said it would first "carefully examine the specific details of the measures".
Within the 27-nation EU, Germany has by far the largest trade surplus with the United States, largely thanks to its automobile industry and chemical giants such as Bayer and BASF, according to the European statistics agency, Eurostat.
Italy is an exporter of cars and capital goods. Ireland is one of the world's strongholds in the production of medicines.
10% on Chinese goods
Since taking office at the end of January, the US president has chosen tariffs as his main policy tool for lowering the massive US trade deficit.
At the beginning of February, he slapped additional customs duties of 10 percent on all products imported from China.
Beijing responded with customs duties of 15 percent on coal and liquefied natural gas and 10 percent on oil and other goods, such as agricultural machinery and vehicles.
China is the country with the largest trade surplus with the United States in goods -- $295.4 billion in 2024, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, which reports to the US Department of Commerce.
The United States represented nearly 15 percent of the country's exports in 2024, according to Chinese data.
U-turn on Mexico and Canada
Trump had initially announced tariffs of 25 percent on all Canadian and Mexican imports, before U-turning just hours before they were due to come into effect.
He granted a one-month reprieve, in principle until March 1.
The United States accounts for 77 percent of Mexico's exports and 84 percent of Canada's, according to their respective statistics agencies.
25% on steel and aluminium
Washington wants to impose new customs duties of 25 percent on steel and aluminium imports for all its trading partners, due to come into force on March 12. Canada is the leading supplier of steel to the United States, followed by Brazil.
'Fair and reciprocal'
Trump has not specified a deadline for his "fair and reciprocal plan" on trade.
In general, emerging economies, such as Brazil or India, impose tariffs at higher levels to protect their respective economies.
But Trump insists there is no reason for a country to tax imports from the United States at a higher level than United States taxes their goods.
Incoming US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick was confident Trump's plan would be able to come into effect by early April.
On Tuesday, Trump welcomed what he considered to be the first effects of his threatened tariffs.
"The EU had 10 percent tax on cars and now they have a 2.5 percent tax, which is the exact same as us... If everybody would do that, then we'd all be on the same playing field," he said.
