Adjusting Imports of Polysilicon and Its Derivatives Into the United States
This proclamation imposes minimum import prices (MIPs) and a 15% ad valorem tariff on polysilicon and downstream derivatives (ingots, wafers, solar cells, modules) effective December 4, 2026, to protect U.S. production capacity for semiconductor and solar supply chains. It also establishes an onshoring incentive program with construction deadlines by January 20, 2029, and includes differentiated tariff treatment for certain trading partners including the UK (10% rate) and EU/Japan/Korea/Taiwan/Switzerland/Liechtenstein (capped at 15% combined with Column 1 duties).
Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 101 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended, on Recoverable Critical Minerals and Materials
This determination invokes the Defense Production Act to declare recoverable critical minerals and materials (including black mass, rare-earth magnet scrap, and swarf) as essential to national defense, authorizing the Secretary of Commerce to implement regulations and take actions to secure their supply. It explicitly excludes copper scrap, already covered under a separate 2025 proclamation.
Further Strengthening Actions Taken To Adjust Imports of Aluminum Into the United States
This proclamation creates a new investment incentive program under Section 232 to encourage domestic primary aluminum production by allowing companies that commit to building, expanding, or refurbishing U.S. primary aluminum facilities to import corresponding quantities of primary aluminum at half the standard Section 232 tariff rate. Construction must begin by January 20, 2029, and the program includes monitoring, enforcement, and potential retroactive rescission of benefits for non-compliance or fraud.
Imposing Additional Duties To Offset Canadian Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States With Respect to Alcoholic Beverages
This proclamation imposes an additional 50 percent ad valorem duty on certain Canadian products, effective August 19, 2026, using Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The action is framed as retaliation for Canadian provincial and territorial bans on U.S. alcoholic beverages that began in March 2025, which caused U.S. alcohol exports to Canada to drop approximately 81 percent.
Imposing Additional Duties To Offset Canadian Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States With Respect to Dairy
This proclamation imposes an additional 50 percent ad valorem duty on certain Canadian products, effective August 19, 2026, to offset Canada's discriminatory dairy tariff-rate quota allocation measures under USMCA that favor EU cheese exporters over U.S. exporters. The action uses Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 after finding that Canada unreasonably restricts U.S. retailers from accessing USMCA dairy TRQs while allowing EU retailers access under CETA.
Imposing Additional Duties To Offset Canadian Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States With Respect to Motor Vehicles
This proclamation imposes an additional 50 percent ad valorem duty on certain Canadian products, effective August 19, 2026, to offset Canada's discriminatory tariff scheme against U.S. motor vehicles. The action uses Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to retaliate against Canadian tariffs and tariff-rate quotas that apply only to U.S. auto exports, which have allegedly caused a 22 percent drop in U.S. vehicle exports to Canada.
Adjusting Imports of Commercial Aircraft, Jet Engines, and Aircraft and Engine Parts Into the United States
President Trump issues a Section 232 proclamation finding that imports of commercial aircraft, jet engines, and parts threaten national security, but declines to impose immediate tariffs.

Strengthening Actions Taken To Adjust Imports of Aluminum, Steel, and Copper Into the United States
This proclamation significantly strengthens existing Section 232 tariffs on aluminum, steel, and copper imports by raising rates to 50% ad valorem on most metal articles and certain derivatives (25% for other derivatives), applying duties to full customs value regardless of metal content, eliminating prior inclusion processes, and creating a new joint authority for the Secretary of Commerce and USTR to add derivative articles on a rolling basis.

Adjusting Certain Delegations Under the Defense Production Act
This executive order amends EO 13603 to add the Secretary of Energy as an independent co-delegate alongside the Secretary of Commerce for Defense Production Act authorities.

Ending Certain Tariff Actions
This executive order terminates the additional ad valorem duties imposed under IEEPA across nine prior executive orders targeting Canada, Mexico, China, Venezuela, Brazil, Russia, Cuba, and Iran. The national emergencies underlying those orders remain in effect, and other duties (Section 232, Section 301) are unaffected. Agency heads must stop collecting these duties as soon as practicable.
Addressing Threats to the United States by the Government of Iran
This executive order imposes a new secondary tariff mechanism allowing the U.S. to levy additional ad valorem duties (potentially 25%) on imports from any foreign country that directly or indirectly purchases goods or services from Iran. The order creates a multi-step process where the Secretary of Commerce identifies countries trading with Iran, then the Secretary of State recommends tariff rates, with final presidential determination.
Establishing an America First Arms Transfer Strategy
This executive order establishes an 'America First Arms Transfer Strategy' that redirects U.S. arms sales policy to use foreign military purchases as a tool to expand domestic defense production capacity, streamline export processes, and prioritize sales to allies that invest in self-defense or contribute to U.S. economic security.

Modifying Duties To Address Threats to the United States by the Government of the Russian Federation
This executive order eliminates the 25 percent additional ad valorem duty on imports from India that was imposed by EO 14329 in August 2025, effective February 7, 2026.
