US imposes tariffs on Israeli imports as part of global trade war

As part of his sweeping global tariffs, US President Donald Trump has announced 17 percent levies on imports from Israel.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich had signed an order on Tuesday to scrap all tariffs on American products in hopes of avoiding reciprocal US measures. The US and Israel already have a free trade agreement that exempts many products from tariffs.

Smotrich’s decree still needs approval from the Knesset.

According to government data, the US imported $22.2bn in Israeli goods in 2024; American exports to Israel totalled $14.8bn. Israel receives billions of dollars in US military aid annually.

Nope, not Israel.

"Not on the list? Russia. Also absent: Belarus, which has been actively allied with Russia in its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

Ukraine is on the list, as are many other former Soviet satellites and republics. Multiple social media accounts posted about Russia’s absence from Trump’s list of the new tariffs."

Russia, Belarus Not on List of Trump's New Tariffs - Mediaite

No surprise, whether willingly or not, everything Trump has done since taking office has weakened America and a lot of it has either benefited China or Russia, Trump's fanbase is too stupid to see America being dismantled right before their very eyes. But don't worry, Trump is "frustrated" that Putin broke a ceasefire, then rejected a ceasefire, he is very "frustrated" he will do something about Putin soon!

The US lied, claiming no tariffs on Russia due to lack of trade, says Le Monde. America still trades with Putin: the 2024 trade balance hit $3.5B, more than with Mauritius or Brunei.

If Belarus and Russia were on the list, tariffs would be 42% and 24%.
