The 2026 U.S. tariff landscape includes the post-IEEPA Section 122 surcharge (expiring July 24), Section 232 sectoral expansions (steel, aluminum, copper, pharma effective July 31, MedTech and semiconductor in flight), continuing Section 301 China tariffs, USMCA 2026 review, and various country-specific actions.
