                Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025

                
Regulating Imports With a Reciprocal Tariff To 
                Rectify Trade Practices That Contribute to Large and 
                Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade Deficits

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, including the International Emergency Economic 
                Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.)(IEEPA), the 
                National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.)(NEA), 
                section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 
                U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United States 
                Code,

                I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of 
                America, find that underlying conditions, including a 
                lack of reciprocity in our bilateral trade 
                relationships, disparate tariff rates and non-tariff 
                barriers, and U.S. trading partners' economic policies 
                that suppress domestic wages and consumption, as 
                indicated by large and persistent annual U.S. goods 
                trade deficits, constitute an unusual and extraordinary 
                threat to the national security and economy of the 
                United States. That threat has its source in whole or 
                substantial part outside the United States in the 
                domestic economic policies of key trading partners and 
                structural imbalances in the global trading system. I 
                hereby declare a national emergency with respect to 
                this threat.

                On January 20, 2025, I signed the America First Trade 
                Policy Presidential Memorandum directing my 
                Administration to investigate the causes of our 
                country's large and persistent annual trade deficits in 
                goods, including the economic and national security 
                implications and risks resulting from such deficits, 
                and to undertake a review of, and identify, any unfair 
                trade practices by other countries. On February 13, 
                2025, I signed a Presidential Memorandum entitled 
                ``Reciprocal Trade and Tariffs,'' that directed further 
                review of our trading partners' non-reciprocal trading 
                practices, and noted the relationship between non-
                reciprocal practices and the trade deficit. On April 1, 
                2025, I received the final results of those 
                investigations, and I am taking action today based on 
                those results.

                Large and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficits 
                have led to the hollowing out of our manufacturing 
                base; inhibited our ability to scale advanced domestic 
                manufacturing capacity; undermined critical supply 
                chains; and rendered our defense-industrial base 
                dependent on foreign adversaries. Large and persistent 
                annual U.S. goods trade deficits are caused in 
                substantial part by a lack of reciprocity in our 
                bilateral trade relationships. This situation is 
                evidenced by disparate tariff rates and non-tariff 
                barriers that make it harder for U.S. manufacturers to 
                sell their products in foreign markets. It is also 
                evidenced by the economic policies of key U.S. trading 
                partners insofar as they suppress domestic wages and 
                consumption, and thereby demand for U.S. exports, while 
                artificially increasing the competitiveness of their 
                goods in global markets. These conditions have given 
                rise to the national emergency that this order is 
                intended to abate and resolve.

                For decades starting in 1934, U.S. trade policy has 
                been organized around the principle of reciprocity. The 
                Congress directed the President to secure reduced 
                reciprocal tariff rates from key trading partners first 
                through bilateral trade agreements and later under the 
                auspices of the global trading system. Between 1934 and 
                1945, the executive branch negotiated and signed 32 
                bilateral reciprocal trade agreements designed to lower 
                tariff rates on a

[[Page 15042]]

                reciprocal basis. After 1947 through 1994, 
                participating countries engaged in eight rounds of 
                negotiation, which resulted in the General Agreements 
                on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and seven subsequent tariff 
                reduction rounds.

                However, despite a commitment to the principle of 
                reciprocity, the trading relationship between the 
                United States and its trading partners has become 
                highly unbalanced, particularly in recent years. The 
                post-war international economic system was based upon 
                three incorrect assumptions: first, that if the United 
                States led the world in liberalizing tariff and non-
                tariff barriers the rest of the world would follow; 
                second, that such liberalization would ultimately 
                result in more economic convergence and increased 
                domestic consumption among U.S. trading partners 
                converging towards the share in the United States; and 
                third, that as a result, the United States would not 
                accrue large and persistent goods trade deficits.

                This framework set in motion events, agreements, and 
                commitments that did not result in reciprocity or 
                generally increase domestic consumption in foreign 
                economies relative to domestic consumption in the 
                United States. Those events, in turn, created large and 
                persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficits as a 
                feature of the global trading system.

                Put simply, while World Trade Organization (WTO) 
                Members agreed to bind their tariff rates on a most-
                favored-nation (MFN) basis, and thereby provide their 
                best tariff rates to all WTO Members, they did not 
                agree to bind their tariff rates at similarly low 
                levels or to apply tariff rates on a reciprocal basis. 
                Consequently, according to the WTO, the United States 
                has among the lowest simple average MFN tariff rates in 
                the world at 3.3 percent, while many of our key trading 
                partners like Brazil (11.2 percent), China (7.5 
                percent), the European Union (EU) (5 percent), India 
                (17 percent), and Vietnam (9.4 percent) have simple 
                average MFN tariff rates that are significantly higher.

                Moreover, these average MFN tariff rates conceal much 
                larger discrepancies across economies in tariff rates 
                applied to particular products. For example, the United 
                States imposes a 2.5 percent tariff on passenger 
                vehicle imports (with internal combustion engines), 
                while the European Union (10 percent), India (70 
                percent), and China (15 percent) impose much higher 
                duties on the same product. For network switches and 
                routers, the United States imposes a 0 percent tariff, 
                but for similar products, India (10 percent) levies a 
                higher rate. Brazil (18 percent) and Indonesia (30 
                percent) impose a higher tariff on ethanol than does 
                the United States (2.5 percent). For rice in the husk, 
                the U.S. MFN tariff is 2.7 percent (ad valorem 
                equivalent), while India (80 percent), Malaysia (40 
                percent), and Turkey (an average of 31 percent) impose 
                higher rates. Apples enter the United States duty-free, 
                but not so in Turkey (60.3 percent) and India (50 
                percent).

                Similarly, non-tariff barriers also deprive U.S. 
                manufacturers of reciprocal access to markets around 
                the world. The 2025 National Trade Estimate Report on 
                Foreign Trade Barriers (NTE) details a great number of 
                non-tariff barriers to U.S. exports around the world on 
                a trading-partner by trading-partner basis. These 
                barriers include import barriers and licensing 
                restrictions; customs barriers and shortcomings in 
                trade facilitation; technical barriers to trade (e.g., 
                unnecessarily trade restrictive standards, conformity 
                assessment procedures, or technical regulations); 
                sanitary and phytosanitary measures that unnecessarily 
                restrict trade without furthering safety objectives; 
                inadequate patent, copyright, trade secret, and 
                trademark regimes and inadequate enforcement of 
                intellectual property rights; discriminatory licensing 
                requirements or regulatory standards; barriers to 
                cross-border data flows and discriminatory practices 
                affecting trade in digital products; investment 
                barriers; subsidies; anticompetitive practices; 
                discrimination in favor of domestic state-owned 
                enterprises, and failures by governments in protecting 
                labor and environment standards; bribery; and 
                corruption.

                Moreover, non-tariff barriers include the domestic 
                economic policies and practices of our trading 
                partners, including currency practices and value-added 
                taxes, and their associated market distortions, that 
                suppress domestic

[[Page 15043]]

                consumption and boost exports to the United States. 
                This lack of reciprocity is apparent in the fact that 
                the share of consumption to Gross Domestic Product 
                (GDP) in the United States is about 68 percent, but it 
                is much lower in others like Ireland (27 percent), 
                Singapore (31 percent), China (39 percent), South Korea 
                (49 percent), and Germany (50 percent).

                At the same time, efforts by the United States to 
                address these imbalances have stalled. Trading partners 
                have repeatedly blocked multilateral and plurilateral 
                solutions, including in the context of new rounds of 
                tariff negotiations and efforts to discipline non-
                tariff barriers. At the same time, with the U.S. 
                economy disproportionately open to imports, U.S. 
                trading partners have had few incentives to provide 
                reciprocal treatment to U.S. exports in the context of 
                bilateral trade negotiations.

                These structural asymmetries have driven the large and 
                persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficit. Even for 
                countries with which the United States may enjoy an 
                occasional bilateral trade surplus, the accumulation of 
                tariff and non-tariff barriers on U.S. exports may make 
                that surplus smaller than it would have been without 
                such barriers. Permitting these asymmetries to continue 
                is not sustainable in today's economic and geopolitical 
                environment because of the effect they have on U.S. 
                domestic production. A nation's ability to produce 
                domestically is the bedrock of its national and 
                economic security.

                Both my first Administration in 2017, and the Biden 
                Administration in 2022, recognized that increasing 
                domestic manufacturing is critical to U.S. national 
                security. According to 2023 United Nations data, U.S. 
                manufacturing output as a share of global manufacturing 
                output was 17.4 percent, down from a peak in 2001 of 
                28.4 percent.

                Over time, the persistent decline in U.S. manufacturing 
                output has reduced U.S. manufacturing capacity. The 
                need to maintain robust and resilient domestic 
                manufacturing capacity is particularly acute in certain 
                advanced industrial sectors like automobiles, 
                shipbuilding, pharmaceuticals, technology products, 
                machine tools, and basic and fabricated metals, because 
                once competitors gain sufficient global market share in 
                these sectors, U.S. production could be permanently 
                weakened. It is also critical to scale manufacturing 
                capacity in the defense-industrial sector so that we 
                can manufacture the defense materiel and equipment 
                necessary to protect American interests at home and 
                abroad.

                In fact, because the United States has supplied so much 
                military equipment to other countries, U.S. stockpiles 
                of military goods are too low to be compatible with 
                U.S. national defense interests. Furthermore, U.S. 
                defense companies must develop new, advanced 
                manufacturing technologies across a range of critical 
                sectors including bio-manufacturing, batteries, and 
                microelectronics. If the United States wishes to 
                maintain an effective security umbrella to defend its 
                citizens and homeland, as well as for its allies and 
                partners, it needs to have a large upstream 
                manufacturing and goods-producing ecosystem to 
                manufacture these products without undue reliance on 
                imports for key inputs.

                Increased reliance on foreign producers for goods also 
                has compromised U.S. economic security by rendering 
                U.S. supply chains vulnerable to geopolitical 
                disruption and supply shocks. In recent years, the 
                vulnerability of the U.S. economy in this respect was 
                exposed both during the COVID-19 pandemic, when 
                Americans had difficulty accessing essential products, 
                as well as when the Houthi rebels later began attacking 
                cargo ships in the Middle East.

                The decline of U.S. manufacturing capacity threatens 
                the U.S. economy in other ways, including through the 
                loss of manufacturing jobs. From 1997 to 2024, the 
                United States lost around 5 million manufacturing jobs 
                and experienced one of the largest drops in 
                manufacturing employment in history. Furthermore, many 
                manufacturing job losses were concentrated in specific 
                geographical areas. In these areas, the loss of 
                manufacturing jobs contributed

[[Page 15044]]

                to the decline in rates of family formation and to the 
                rise of other social trends, like the abuse of opioids, 
                that have imposed profound costs on the U.S. economy.

                The future of American competitiveness depends on 
                reversing these trends. Today, manufacturing represents 
                just 11 percent of U.S. gross domestic product, yet it 
                accounts for 35 percent of American productivity growth 
                and 60 percent of our exports. Importantly, U.S. 
                manufacturing is the main engine of innovation in the 
                United States, responsible for 55 percent of all 
                patents and 70 percent of all research and development 
                (R&D) spending. The fact that R&D expenditures by U.S. 
                multinational enterprises in China grew at an average 
                rate of 13.6 percent a year between 2003 and 2017, 
                while their R&D expenditures in the United States grew 
                by an average of just 5 percent per year during the 
                same time period, is evidence of the strong link 
                between manufacturing and innovation. Furthermore, 
                every manufacturing job spurs 7 to 12 new jobs in other 
                related industries, helping to build and sustain our 
                economy.

                Just as a nation that does not produce manufactured 
                products cannot maintain the industrial base it needs 
                for national security, neither can a nation long 
                survive if it cannot produce its own food. Presidential 
                Policy Directive 21 of February 12, 2013 (Critical 
                Infrastructure Security and Resilience), designates 
                food and agriculture as a ``critical infrastructure 
                sector'' because it is one of the sectors considered 
                ``so vital to the United States that [its] incapacity 
                or destruction . . . would have a debilitating impact 
                on security, national economic security, national 
                public health or safety, or any combination of those 
                matters.'' Furthermore, when I left office, the United 
                States had a trade surplus in agricultural products, 
                but today, that surplus has vanished. Eviscerated by a 
                slew of new non-tariff barriers imposed by our trading 
                partners, it has been replaced by a projected $49 
                billion annual agricultural trade deficit.

                For these reasons, I hereby declare and order:

                Section 1. National Emergency. As President of the 
                United States, my highest duty is ensuring the national 
                and economic security of the country and its citizens.

                I have declared a national emergency arising from 
                conditions reflected in large and persistent annual 
                U.S. goods trade deficits, which have grown by over 40 
                percent in the past 5 years alone, reaching $1.2 
                trillion in 2024. This trade deficit reflects 
                asymmetries in trade relationships that have 
                contributed to the atrophy of domestic production 
                capacity, especially that of the U.S. manufacturing and 
                defense-industrial base. These asymmetries also impact 
                U.S. producers' ability to export and, consequentially, 
                their incentive to produce.

                Specifically, such asymmetry includes not only non-
                reciprocal differences in tariff rates among foreign 
                trading partners, but also extensive use of non-tariff 
                barriers by foreign trading partners, which reduce the 
                competitiveness of U.S. exports while artificially 
                enhancing the competitiveness of their own goods. These 
                non-tariff barriers include technical barriers to 
                trade; non-scientific sanitary and phytosanitary rules; 
                inadequate intellectual property protections; 
                suppressed domestic consumption (e.g., wage 
                suppression); weak labor, environmental, and other 
                regulatory standards and protections; and corruption. 
                These non-tariff barriers give rise to significant 
                imbalances even when the United States and a trading 
                partner have comparable tariff rates.

                The cumulative effect of these imbalances has been the 
                transfer of resources from domestic producers to 
                foreign firms, reducing opportunities for domestic 
                manufacturers to expand and, in turn, leading to lost 
                manufacturing jobs, diminished manufacturing capacity, 
                and an atrophied industrial base, including in the 
                defense-industrial sector. At the same time, foreign 
                firms are better positioned to scale production, 
                reinvest in innovation, and compete

                in the global economy, to the detriment of U.S. 
                economic and national security.

                The absence of sufficient domestic manufacturing 
                capacity in certain critical and advanced industrial 
                sectors--another outcome of the large and persistent 
                annual U.S. goods trade deficits--also compromises U.S. 
                economic and national security by rendering the U.S. 
                economy less resilient to supply chain disruption. 
                Finally, the large, persistent annual U.S. goods trade 
                deficits, and the concomitant loss of industrial 
                capacity, have compromised military readiness; this 
                vulnerability can only be redressed through swift 
                corrective action to rebalance the flow of imports into 
                the United States. Such impact upon military readiness 
                and our national security posture is especially acute 
                with the recent rise in armed conflicts abroad. I call 
                upon the public and private sector to make the efforts 
                necessary to strengthen the international economic 
                position of the United States.

                Sec. 2. Reciprocal Tariff Policy. It is the policy of 
                the United States to rebalance global trade flows by 
                imposing an additional ad valorem duty on all imports 
                from all trading partners except as otherwise provided 
                herein. The additional ad valorem duty on all imports 
                from all trading partners shall start at 10 percent and 
                shortly thereafter, the additional ad valorem duty 
                shall increase for trading partners enumerated in Annex 
                I to this order at the rates set forth in Annex I to 
                this order. These additional ad valorem duties shall 
                apply until such time as I determine that the 
                underlying conditions described above are satisfied, 
                resolved, or mitigated.

                Sec. 3. Implementation. (a) Except as otherwise 
                provided in this order, all articles imported into the 
                customs territory of the United States shall be, 
                consistent with law, subject to an additional ad 
                valorem rate of duty of 10 percent. Such rates of duty 
                shall apply with respect to goods entered for 
                consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for 
                consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight 
                time on April 5, 2025, except that goods loaded onto a 
                vessel at the port of loading and in transit on the 
                final mode of transit before 12:01 a.m. eastern 
                daylight time on April 5, 2025, and entered for 
                consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption 
                after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on April 5, 
                2025, shall not be subject to such additional duty.

                Furthermore, except as otherwise provided in this 
                order, at 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on April 9, 
                2025, all articles from trading partners enumerated in 
                Annex I to this order imported into the customs 
                territory of the United States shall be, consistent 
                with law, subject to the country-specific ad valorem 
                rates of duty specified in Annex I to this order. Such 
                rates of duty shall apply with respect to goods entered 
                for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for 
                consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight 
                time on April 9, 2025, except that goods loaded onto a 
                vessel at the port of loading and in transit on the 
                final mode of transit before 12:01 a.m. eastern 
                daylight time on April 9, 2025, and entered for 
                consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption 
                after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on April 9, 
                2025, shall not be subject to these country-specific ad 
                valorem rates of duty set forth in Annex I to this 
                order. These country-specific ad valorem rates of duty 
                shall apply to all articles imported pursuant to the 
                terms of all existing U.S. trade agreements, except as 
                provided below.

                    (b) The following goods as set forth in Annex II to 
                this order, consistent with law, shall not be subject 
                to the ad valorem rates of duty under this order: (i) 
                all articles that are encompassed by 50 U.S.C. 1702(b); 
                (ii) all articles and derivatives of steel and aluminum 
                subject to the duties imposed pursuant to section 232 
                of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and proclaimed in 
                Proclamation 9704 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports 
                of Aluminum Into the United States), as amended, 
                Proclamation 9705 of March 8, 2018 (Adjusting Imports 
                of Steel Into the United States), as amended, and 
                Proclamation 9980 of January 24, 2020 (Adjusting 
                Imports of Derivative Aluminum Articles and Derivative 
                Steel Articles Into the United States), as amended, 
                Proclamation 10895 of February 10, 2025 (Adjusting 
                Imports of Aluminum

[[Page 15046]]

                Into the United States), and Proclamation 10896 of 
                February 10, 2025 (Adjusting Imports of Steel into the 
                United States); (iii) all automobiles and automotive 
                parts subject to the additional duties imposed pursuant 
                to section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as 
                amended, and proclaimed in Proclamation 10908 of March 
                26, 2025 (Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and 
                Automobile Parts Into the United States); (iv) other 
                products enumerated in Annex II to this order, 
                including copper, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, 
                lumber articles, certain critical minerals, and energy 
                and energy products; (v) all articles from a trading 
                partner subject to the rates set forth in Column 2 of 
                the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
                (HTSUS); and (vi) all articles that may become subject 
                to duties pursuant to future actions under section 232 
                of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962.
                    (c) The rates of duty established by this order are 
                in addition to any other duties, fees, taxes, 
                exactions, or charges applicable to such imported 
                articles, except as provided in subsections (d) and (e) 
                of this section below.
                    (d) With respect to articles from Canada, I have 
                imposed additional duties on certain goods to address a 
                national emergency resulting from the flow of illicit 
                drugs across our northern border pursuant to Executive 
                Order 14193 of February 1, 2025 (Imposing Duties To 
                Address the Flow of Illicit Drugs Across Our Northern 
                Border), as amended by Executive Order 14197 of 
                February 3, 2025 (Progress on the Situation at Our 
                Northern Border), and Executive Order 14231 of March 2, 
                2025 (Amendment to Duties To Address the Flow of 
                Illicit Drugs Across Our Northern Border). With respect 
                to articles from Mexico, I have imposed additional 
                duties on certain goods to address a national emergency 
                resulting from the flow of illicit drugs and illegal 
                migration across our southern border pursuant to 
                Executive Order 14194 of February 1, 2025 (Imposing 
                Duties To Address the Situation at Our Southern 
                Border), as amended by Executive Order 14198 of 
                February 3, 2025 (Progress on the Situation at Our 
                Southern Border), and Executive Order 14227 of March 2, 
                2025 (Amendment to Duties To Address the Situation at 
                Our Southern Border). As a result of these border 
                emergency tariff actions, all goods of Canada or Mexico 
                under the terms of general note 11 to the HTSUS, 
                including any treatment set forth in subchapter XXIII 
                of chapter 98 and subchapter XXII of chapter 99 of the 
                HTSUS, as related to the Agreement between the United 
                States of America, United Mexican States, and Canada 
                (USMCA), continue to be eligible to enter the U.S. 
                market under these preferential terms. However, all 
                goods of Canada or Mexico that do not qualify as 
                originating under USMCA are presently subject to 
                additional ad valorem duties of 25 percent, with energy 
                or energy resources and potash imported from Canada and 
                not qualifying as originating under USMCA presently 
                subject to the lower additional ad valorem duty of 10 
                percent.
                    (e) Any ad valorem rate of duty on articles 
                imported from Canada or Mexico under the terms of this 
                order shall not apply in addition to the ad valorem 
                rate of duty specified by the existing orders described 
                in subsection (d) of this section. If such orders 
                identified in subsection (d) of this section are 
                terminated or suspended, all items of Canada and Mexico 
                that qualify as originating under USMCA shall not be 
                subject to an additional ad valorem rate of duty, while 
                articles not qualifying as originating under USMCA 
                shall be subject to an ad valorem rate of duty of 12 
                percent. However, these ad valorem rates of duty on 
                articles imported from Canada and Mexico shall not 
                apply to energy or energy resources, to potash, or to 
                an article eligible for duty-free treatment under USMCA 
                that is a part or component of an article substantially 
                finished in the United States.
                    (f) More generally, the ad valorem rates of duty 
                set forth in this order shall apply only to the non-
                U.S. content of a subject article, provided at least 20 
                percent of the value of the subject article is U.S. 
                originating. For the purposes of this subsection, 
                ``U.S. content'' refers to the value of an article 
                attributable to the components produced entirely, or 
                substantially transformed in, the United States. U.S. 
                Customs and Border Protection (CBP),

[[Page 15047]]

                to the extent permitted by law, is authorized to 
                require the collection of such information and 
                documentation regarding an imported article, including 
                with the entry filing, as is necessary to enable CBP to 
                ascertain and verify the value of the U.S. content of 
                the article, as well as to ascertain and verify whether 
                an article is substantially finished in the United 
                States.
                    (g) Subject articles, except those eligible for 
                admission under ``domestic status'' as defined in 19 
                CFR 146.43, which are subject to the duty specified in 
                section 2 of this order and are admitted into a foreign 
                trade zone on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time 
                on April 9, 2025, must be admitted as ``privileged 
                foreign status'' as defined in 19 CFR 146.41.
                    (h) Duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 
                1321(a)(2)(A)-(B) shall remain available for the 
                articles described in subsection (a) of this section. 
                Duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 
                1321(a)(2)(C) shall remain available for the articles 
                described in subsection (a) of this section until 
                notification by the Secretary of Commerce to the 
                President that adequate systems are in place to fully 
                and expeditiously process and collect duty revenue 
                applicable pursuant to this subsection for articles 
                otherwise eligible for de minimis treatment. After such 
                notification, duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 
                U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) shall not be available for the 
                articles described in subsection (a) of this section.
                    (i) The Executive Order of April 2, 2025 (Further 
                Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid 
                Supply Chain in the People's Republic of China as 
                Applied to Low-Value Imports), regarding low-value 
                imports from China is not affected by this order, and 
                all duties and fees with respect to covered articles 
                shall be collected as required and detailed therein.
                    (j) To reduce the risk of transshipment and 
                evasion, all ad valorem rates of duty imposed by this 
                order or any successor orders with respect to articles 
                of China shall apply equally to articles of both the 
                Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Macau 
                Special Administrative Region.
                    (k) In order to establish the duty rates described 
                in this order, the HTSUS is modified as set forth in 
                the Annexes to this order. These modifications shall 
                enter into effect on the dates set forth in the Annexes 
                to this order.
                    (l) Unless specifically noted herein, any prior 
                Presidential Proclamation, Executive Order, or other 
                Presidential directive or guidance related to trade 
                with foreign trading partners that is inconsistent with 
                the direction in this order is hereby terminated, 
                suspended, or modified to the extent necessary to give 
                full effect to this order.

                Sec. 4. Modification Authority. (a) The Secretary of 
                Commerce and the United States Trade Representative, in 
                consultation with the Secretary of State, the Secretary 
                of the Treasury, the Secretary of Homeland Security, 
                the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, the 
                Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing, and the 
                Assistant to the President for National Security 
                Affairs, shall recommend to me additional action, if 
                necessary, if this action is not effective in resolving 
                the emergency conditions described above, including the 
                increase in the overall trade deficit or the recent 
                expansion of non-reciprocal trade arrangements by U.S. 
                trading partners in a manner that threatens the 
                economic and national security interests of the United 
                States.

                    (b) Should any trading partner retaliate against 
                the United States in response to this action through 
                import duties on U.S. exports or other measures, I may 
                further modify the HTSUS to increase or expand in scope 
                the duties imposed under this order to ensure the 
                efficacy of this action.
                    (c) Should any trading partner take significant 
                steps to remedy non-reciprocal trade arrangements and 
                align sufficiently with the United States on economic 
                and national security matters, I may further modify the 
                HTSUS to decrease or limit in scope the duties imposed 
                under this order.
                    (d) Should U.S. manufacturing capacity and output 
                continue to worsen, I may further modify the HTSUS to 
                increase duties under this order.
