According to estimates, President Trump's proposals to impose universal tariffs as well as tariffs on Chinese, Canadian, and Mexican imports would considerably increase the average tariff rate. If Trump's proposals go into effect, it is estimated that the average tariff rate of all imports would almost triple, marking the highest rate in the United States since 1969.

As of April 9, 2025, the United States levied a revised baseline of 10 percent on all goods imported from countries of the Middle East and North Africa .Based on the initial tariff calculation of April 3, the rates of imported goods would have varied by country in the region, with Syria and Iraq at 41 and 39 percent, respectively. Tariffs and their effects he intertwined nature of global trade and supply chains implies that the shockwaves of significant policy changes and economic turbulences spread more easily across countries. This was illustrated in the effects of new United States tariffs on Arab countries, where projections show a 1.4 percent decrease in investments in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Meanwhile, the impact of these tariffs on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) imports forecast a 28 percent decrease in imports from the United States to the Arab region. Middle East-United States trade relations The nature of trade relationships between the United States and the Middle East is often influenced by geopolitical and security realities, with Israel, UAE, and Saudi Arabia being the leading bilateral trading partners. A particularly strong trade relationship exists between the GCC countries and the United States, evident in the value of exports from the former to the latter. On the other hand, the value of exports from the broader Arab region to the United States fell considerably in the last decade, largely due to petroleum and oil revenue decrease.
