The full effects of U.S. trade focused policies remain uncertain. Notably, the Trump administration announced the implementation and temporary 90-day delay of tariffs on several countries, potentially as leverage to secure more favorable trade deals.
According to Clarksons Research, these developments have significantly impacted maritime trade, with approximately 18% of global maritime trade now subject to tariffs, a sharp increase from just 4% in early March.
The research also indicates that U.S. imports currently face average tariffs exceeding 23%, though this figure drops to about 7.5% when excluding imports from China.
