Americans' understanding of tariffs appears limited, with only 27 percent feeling very confident about their knowledge of the trade policy tool. This lack of awareness comes at a time when tariffs have become a significant topic in U.S. economic discussions, particularly in relation to international trade relations and domestic industry protection. Potential impact of proposed tariffs Despite the public's uncertainty, proposed tariffs could have far-reaching effects on the U.S. economy. If implemented, certain proposals could increase the average tariff rate on dutiable imports to nearly 18 percent, a substantial rise from the two percent rate in 2024. Such changes would not only affect dutiable goods but also impose taxes on previously duty-free imports, potentially leading to a sharp increase in the overall tariff burden. Estimates suggest that imposing tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China could increase federal tax revenue by approximately 106 billion U.S. dollars, equivalent to 0.35 percent of the nation's GDP.

A trade deficit is, quite simply, the total value of a country’s imports of goods and services minus the total value of its exports of goods and services. When a country exports more than it imports, it has a trade surplus, and when it imports more than it exports, it has a trade deficit. A trade deficit can mean one of two things: Either the country is failing to produce enough goods for its citizens, or its citizens are wealthy enough to purchase more goods than the country produces (as is the case with the United States). Trading partners The United States’ top export partners are its closest neighbors, Canada and Mexico, due in part to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which, pending ratification, will be replaced by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Regarding imports to the U.S., China takes the top spot, followed by Mexico and Canada.
