Addressing Certain Tariffs on Imported Articles

Executive Order May 02, 2025 Document 2025-07835

Summary

On April 29, 2025, President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 14289 to address the stacking of tariffs on imported goods, aiming to prevent multiple tariffs from cumulatively affecting the same articles. This order seeks to streamline the application of tariffs, ensuring that only the necessary tariffs apply to achieve policy goals, potentially reducing costs for businesses and consumers. Legally, this move could face challenges, as it alters how existing tariffs are administered, and politically, it might stir debate over trade policies and their impact on the economy.
