US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order offering limited tariff exemptions to countries that have existing trade agreements with the United States. The move comes amid ongoing global concerns over Washington’s aggressive tariff policies, which have disrupted supply chains and sparked diplomatic tensions. Trump clarified that the exemptions aim to protect allied economies while maintaining leverage against nations accused of unfair trade practices. Analysts believe this step could ease friction with key partners, including Mexico, Canada, and South Korea, though uncertainty remains over broader tariff disputes with China and the European Union.
