Trump tariffs: What's been done and what's to come?

________________

WASHINGTON - From tariffs to counter "unfair trade" to duties over illegal immigration and fentanyl smuggling, President Donald Trump has unleashed a flurry of levies since taking office, sparking fears of a widening trade war.

US tariffs of 25 percent on Canadian and Mexican goods came into effect on Tuesday, as Washington raised tariffs on China to 20 percent.

Both China and Canada have imposed retaliatory tariffs, while Mexico has said it will do the same.

Here's a rundown of Trump's tariffs, both in force and threatened, as well as other nations' countermeasures.

25% on Canadian and Mexican imports

Steep US tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods came into force Tuesday, with experts warning they could snarl supply chains and push up prices for consumers.

Trump had announced the 25-percent tariffs in February, accusing the United States' neighbors of failing to stop illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

The duties, with a lower rate on Canadian energy resources, stand to hit more than $918 billion worth of US imports from both countries.

Canada swiftly imposed retaliatory 25-percent tariffs on $30 billion of goods from the United States, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warning they would be expanded.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said her country would also hit back with retaliatory duties, calling a rally for Sunday to announce the details.

20% on Chinese imports

Washington also increased a previously imposed 10-percent tariff on China to 20 percent.

Beijing retaliated, saying it would impose 10- and 15-percent levies on a range of agricultural imports from the United States.

Those come into effect next week and will impact tens of billions of dollars in imports, from US soybeans and corn to chicken and beef.

Beijing had earlier responded to US trade measures with duties of 15 percent on coal and liquefied natural gas, and 10 percent on oil and other goods.

25% on EU imports

Trump vowed in late February to slap 25-percent tariffs on European Union products, including cars.

The 27-nation bloc has vowed to retaliate with proportionate countermeasures.

25% on steel and aluminum

Trump signed orders in February to impose 25-percent tariffs on US steel and aluminum imports from March 12.

Canada is the leading supplier of steel to the United States, followed by Brazil.

About 25% on cars, chips, pharmaceuticals

Trump has said tariffs on automobiles, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals could come as early as April 2, with a rate of around 25 percent.

For computer chips and pharmaceuticals, he said they could "go very substantially higher over (the) course of a year."

Reciprocal tariffs

Trump has also signed plans for sweeping "reciprocal tariffs" that could hit both allies and adversaries by April 2.

The levies would be tailored to each US trading partner and consider the tariffs they impose on American goods, alongside taxes the White House has said are discriminatory, such as value-added taxes.

On Monday, Trump also signaled tariffs on imported agricultural products. A White House official told AFP this came under his plans for reciprocal tariffs.

Probes on lumber and copper tariffs

Trump ordered a probe Saturday into potential tariffs on lumber imports.

The review, due by November, takes aim at exporters like Canada, Germany and Brazil, with White House officials earlier accusing them of "dumping" lumber into the US market.

Last month, Trump also ordered an investigation into possible levies on US copper imports, which could fuel trade tensions with Chile, the biggest US supplier, as well as Canada.
