"I, DONALD J. TRUMP, ... find that underlying conditions, including ... large and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficits, constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and economy of the United States. ... I hereby declare a national emergency with respect to this threat."
"Large and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficits have led to the hollowing out of our manufacturing base; inhibited our ability to scale advanced domestic manufacturing capacity; undermined critical supply chains; and rendered our defense-industrial base dependent on foreign adversaries."
"The post-war international economic system was based upon three incorrect assumptions... [including] that the United States would not accrue large and persistent goods trade deficits." ... "Put simply, while World Trade Organization (WTO) Members agreed to bind their tariff rates on a most-favored-nation (MFN) basis... they did not agree to bind their tariff rates at similarly low levels or to apply tariff rates on a reciprocal basis."
"Moreover, non-tariff barriers include the domestic economic policies and practices of our trading partners, including currency practices and value-added taxes, and their associated market distortions, that suppress domestic consumption and boost exports to the United States."
"It is the policy of the United States to rebalance global trade flows by imposing an additional ad valorem duty on all imports from all trading partners except as otherwise provided herein. The additional ad valorem duty on all imports from all trading partners shall start at 10 percent and shortly thereafter, the additional ad valorem duty shall increase for trading partners enumerated in Annex I to this order at the rates set forth in Annex I..." "Such rates of duty shall apply with respect to goods entered for consumption... on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on April 5, 2025..." "...at 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on April 9, 2025, all articles from trading partners enumerated in Annex I... shall be... subject to the country-specific ad valorem rates of duty specified in Annex I..."
"(b) Should any trading partner retaliate against the United States... I may further modify the HTSUS to increase or expand in scope the duties imposed..." "(c) Should any trading partner take significant steps to remedy non-reciprocal trade arrangements... I may further modify the HTSUS to decrease or limit in scope the duties imposed..." "(d) Should U.S. manufacturing capacity and output continue to worsen, I may further modify the HTSUS to increase duties..."
