Oil imports exempted from Trump's sweeping tariffs
Portfolio Pulse from
President Trump has announced a new 10% baseline tariff on most imports, but critically exempted oil, gas, and refined product imports. This exemption provides relief to the U.S. oil industry, which was concerned about potential disruptions to energy supply chains. Canada and Mexico remain exempt from these tariffs under their existing trade agreement.
