Trade Directives
Modifying the Scope of Tariffs on the Government of Brazil
This Presidential Action modifies the scope of the additional 40 percent *ad valorem* duty rate previously imposed on certain articles from Brazil under Executive Order 14323 by exempting specific agricultural imports.
The decision reflects progress made during ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and the Government of Brazil concerning the national emergency declared in the prior order.
The action directs the Department of State to continue monitoring the situation and formally amends the tariff schedule effective for goods entered on or after November 13, 2025.
Modifying the Scope of the Reciprocal Tariff with Respect to Certain Agricultural Products
This Presidential Action modifies the scope of the reciprocal tariff previously established under Executive Order 14257, as amended by Executive Order 14346.
Based on new information, ongoing negotiations, and assessments of current domestic economic factors, the President has determined it necessary to exempt certain agricultural products from the imposed ad valorem duties.
The order directs the modification of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, effective November 13, 2025, with implementation oversight shared among the Secretaries of Commerce, Homeland Security, and the U.S. Trade Representative, utilizing powers granted under IEEPA.
Modifying Reciprocal Tariff Rates Consistent with the Economic and Trade Arrangement Between the United States and the People’s Republic of China
This Presidential Action formally implements the economic and trade Arrangement reached between the United States and the People's Republic of China (PRC) following meetings in October 2025.
Citing progress on addressing non-reciprocal trade, the action continues the suspension of heightened reciprocal tariffs previously imposed on PRC imports until November 10, 2026.
The President justifies this extension by citing commitments from the PRC to cease retaliatory actions, ease export controls on critical minerals, and exponentially increase purchases of U.S. agricultural goods, all intended to remedy the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14257.
Modifying Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republic of China
The document announces a modification to presidential actions taken under a national emergency concerning the synthetic opioid supply chain originating from the People's Republic of China (PRC).
Citing PRC commitments to halt the shipment of specific fentanyl precursor chemicals to the United States and control exports globally, the President reduces the additional ad valorem duty on targeted PRC goods from 20 percent to 10 percent, effective November 10, 2025.
The order directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to implement these changes in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) and mandates ongoing monitoring of the PRC's compliance, reserving the right to modify the order if commitments are not met.
Regulatory Relief for Certain Stationary Sources to Promote American Mineral Security
This Presidential Proclamation, issued by President Donald J. Trump, grants a two-year exemption from the compliance deadlines of a new Environmental Protection Agency rule, known as the Copper Rule, for certain primary copper smelters.
The action is justified by asserting that copper is a critical material for national security and that the new emissions standards impose severe burdens because the required emissions-control technology is either not commercially viable or cost-effective. By extending the deadlines, the Proclamation aims to preserve the Nation's limited domestic smelting capacity and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains during this two-year period.
This Presidential Proclamation establishes new tariffs on imports of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles (MHDVs), specific Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Parts (MHDVPs), and buses, asserting that current import levels threaten United States national security based on a Section 232 investigation.
The action imposes a 25 percent ad valorem duty on most MHDVs and key MHDVPs, and a 10 percent duty on buses, effective November 1, 2025, aiming to stabilize domestic market share at 80 percent, bolster supply chains, and encourage domestic industrial investment.
Furthermore, the proclamation coordinates these new tariffs with existing automobile tariff regimes, introduces complex adjustment offset programs for domestically assembled vehicles and engines to mitigate part import duties, and authorizes implementing agencies to enforce compliance.
The Trump Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity
This Presidential Action document is a declaration signed by the leaders of the United States, Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye, affirming their collective commitment to the successful implementation of the Trump Peace Agreement.
The leaders pledge to foster a new regional chapter defined by hope, security, prosperity, and mutual respect, ensuring fundamental human rights and dignity for both Palestinians and Israelis while resolutely opposing extremism and committing to diplomatic resolution of future disputes.
Leif Erikson Day, 2025
This Presidential Proclamation, issued by Donald J. Trump, officially declares October 9, 2025, as Leif Erikson Day to honor the legendary Norse explorer acknowledged as the first European to land in the New World and to celebrate the cultural and historical contributions of Nordic Americans to the nation.
The document recalls Erikson's voyage, ties his spirit of exploration to the American narrative from pioneers to astronauts, and reaffirms the administration's commitment to strengthening bonds with Nordic allies through fair trade and peace.
