Overview

  • Effective U.S. tariff rates have climbed to 18 percent, the highest level since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration and up sharply from roughly 2 percent a year ago.
  • A 35 percent tariff on Canadian imports takes effect Friday under an executive order aimed at curbing illicit fentanyl flows from Canada.
  • Net migration to the United States has plunged by at least 60 percent year-on-year and is projected to turn negative in 2025, a first in five decades.
  • President Trump has issued 180 executive orders so far this year, outstripping every president since FDR at the same point in their terms.
  • Enten’s analysis on CNN Newsroom frames these metrics as evidence that Trump’s second-term policies have reshaped the nation to a degree not seen since the 1930s.
