Talk:Tariffs in the second Trump administration

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit]

Hi editors,

I’d like to propose adding a factual external resource under the “External links” section that may be useful to readers interested in the scope and impact of U.S. tariffs under the current policy.

Suggested link:

🔗 https://worldscorecard.com/world-facts-and-figures/us-tariffs-and-the-world/

The page includes:

  • A country-by-country tariff table (U.S. tariffs vs. foreign tariffs)
  • A timeline of major 2025 tariff actions
  • Sourced commentary and economic impact summaries
  • A breakdown of sectoral exemptions (e.g., energy, semiconductors)

I’m affiliated with the site as its maintainer and disclose that here for transparency. The content is non-promotional, cites reputable sources (Reuters, Politico, AP, etc.), and is intended to complement the article with detailed reference data not already covered.

Happy to revise or withdraw the suggestion based on feedback. Thank you! Jbird96 (talk) 23:10, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This looks like an interesting site, but is it referenced by any reputable sources? How do we know it's reliable enough to link this way? satkaratalk 00:10, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Satkara. Thanks for following up. The tariff page (and website) is relatively new, with the goal of providing full transparency (Transparency: About World Scorecard) about its data sources. Bing.com, the search engine, considers the page an authoritative one this topic, as ranks top 1-3 rankings for key search phrases such as "us tariffs", "us tariffs list", "tariffs list", and so on.

Hi @Satkara Did you get a chance to review this proposal? Thanks. Jbird96 (talk) 22:17, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Satkara, others: Any updates on this? Jbird96 (talk) 17:05, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nintendo price hikes source

[edit]

Not sure where it would fit into this (already lengthy) article, but today Nintendo announced price hikes on Switch consoles and accessories sold in the United States:

  • Gach, Ethan (August 1, 2025). "Nintendo Is Raising The Price Of The Original Switch And A Bunch Of Accessories [Update]". Archived from the original on 2025-08-01. Retrieved 2025-08-01. Nintendo isn't officially revealing what the actual price changes are yet. It's also not blaming President Trump's trade war directly, but increased tariffs on imports into the U.S. are no doubt partly to blame. The most recent update from the White House lists import taxes of 20 percent on Vietnam, 30 percent on China, and 15 percent on Japan.

It may make sense somewhere in the "Impacts" section, though looking at how long the article is, maybe a separate article, Impacts of Trump administration tariffs, might make sense? I note the previous XBox price increase also isn't covered here from many months ago. —Locke Coletc 19:47, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Trump fires lead official on economic data as tariffs cause market drop

[edit]

In a post on social media, Trump - without evidence - accused the commissioner, Erika McEntarfer, of manipulating jobs figures for political reasons. The decision shocked Wall Street and raised alarm about White House interference in economic data.

Afaik, it was this release that made Trump angry. Vieilissant (talk) 04:13, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Update the "nation by nation" section

[edit]

After the new rates introduced on August 1, 2025, its only fair we update the data at hand and their effects. The data in the sections are as of now only describing events before August 1. 217.73.141.112 (talk) 07:58, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
