What happened
The Trump administration will implement new tariffs of 10% to 12.5% on imports from 60 countries, including Israel, replacing the current 10% tariffs that expire on July 24. These tariffs, justified by forced labor allegations and based on Section 301 of the Trade Act, affect nearly all U.S. trade partners and pose challenges for Israeli exporters. The move faces potential legal challenges but has so far had limited market impact amid broader economic concerns.
