President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order that formalizes new tariffs on dozens of nations, plus the 27-member European Union.

The reciprocal tariffs were announced in a July 31 executive order that will go into effect in seven days, on Aug. 7. The action comes just hours before the Aug. 1 deadline for U.S. trading partners to reach trade agreements.
