This Presidential Proclamation, issued by Donald J. Trump on April 10, 2026, declares April 12, 2026, as a day of celebration to honor the life and enduring legacy of statesman Henry Clay on what would have been his 249th birthday.

The declaration recognizes Clay's pivotal role in shaping the Union through his promotion of the American System, which advocated for protective tariffs, a national financial structure, and internal improvements.

Furthermore, the President directs the White House Office of Administration to permanently redesignate Room 208 of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, the historic office of the Secretary of State, as the Henry Clay Room to commemorate his service.

This Presidential Proclamation directs adjustments to the importation of patented pharmaceuticals and associated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) based on a finding that current import levels threaten national security by creating overreliance on foreign supply chains for critical medications.

The President imposes a 100% ad valorem tariff on these imports, while simultaneously offering reduced rates (20% or 0%) to companies that commit to or achieve onshoring of production and pricing agreements, and grants zero tariffs to certain specialized pharmaceutical categories.

The action also directs federal departments to pursue negotiation agreements to further secure domestic supply and requires monitoring of generic drug imports, though no immediate tariffs are placed on generics.

This Presidential Proclamation modifies and strengthens existing Section 232 tariff regimes on imports of aluminum, steel, and copper, building upon prior actions established in Proclamations 9704, 9705, and 10962.

The President determined that the tariffs are effectively strengthening domestic industries, but further adjustments are necessary to address identified national security threats more completely.

Key modifications include applying the additional *ad valorem* duties to the full customs value of imported articles and their derivatives, regardless of the percentage of metal content, while setting new specific tariff rates (50% or 25%) for certain articles and granting reduced rates for products sourced from the United Kingdom or made entirely from U.S. metals.

The proclamation also terminates prior inclusion processes for derivative articles, authorizing the Secretary of Commerce and the Trade Representative to jointly determine future inclusions.

This Presidential Proclamation officially designates March 24, 2026, as National Agriculture Day, using the occasion to praise the 250-year history of American farmers and growers for their hard work, stewardship, and economic contributions.

The President highlights current administration efforts focusing on soil and water health improvements, achieving fair trade, boosting supply chain resilience, eliminating burdensome regulations, and referencing significant financial assistance provided to the agricultural sector.

This Presidential Action establishes a policy to protect consumers and domestic manufacturers by requiring enforcement against fraudulent or misleading "Made in America" advertising claims, especially in the digital marketplace.

The order instructs the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to prioritize enforcement actions and consider regulations holding online marketplaces accountable for verifying origin claims.

Additionally, it directs agencies overseeing government contracts to review and verify American-origin claims for procured products, referring potential violators of the Buy American Act to the Department of Justice for action under the False Claims Act.

The Order concludes with standard general provisions detailing implementation subject to law and appropriations.

This proclamation by President Donald J. Trump imposes a temporary 10 percent ad valorem import surcharge on articles entering the United States, effective February 24, 2026, for a period of 150 days.

The President finds that large and serious fundamental international payments problems exist, citing a substantial and growing balance-of-payments deficit, a negative balance on primary income, and a sharp decline in the net international-investment position relative to GDP. The surcharge is authorized under section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 as a necessary measure to stabilize the U.S. economy and national interests.

The proclamation details numerous exceptions to the surcharge based on specific economic needs, including critical minerals, energy products, certain essential agricultural goods, pharmaceuticals, and goods originating from Canada or Mexico under existing trade agreements.

The President issues an order to continue suspending the duty-free *de minimis* exemption under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) for all shipments, including those entering through the international postal network.

This action revises Executive Order 14324 following notification that systems are in place to collect duties, ensuring that applicable duties related to prior national emergency declarations concerning trade imbalances and illicit trade continue to be assessed and collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on imports otherwise exempt.

This presidential action terminates the additional *ad valorem* duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) via nine specific prior Executive Orders that addressed perceived national emergencies related to illicit drug flows across U.S. borders, specific trade deficits, and perceived threats from China, Venezuela, Brazil, the Russian Federation, Cuba, and Iran.

The order directs executive agencies to immediately cease the collection of these specific tariffs as soon as practicable, while explicitly stating that the underlying national emergencies declared in those original orders remain in effect, and other non-tariff actions are unaffected.
