(Ynet News) Gad Lior - President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a sweeping new tariff policy that included a 17% tariff on Israeli exports, to take effect on April 9. In 2024, Israeli exports to the U.S. totaled $34 billion in goods and services. Dr. Ron Tomer, president of the Manufacturers Association of Israel, said, "The claim that Israel imposes 33% tariffs on American goods is unclear, and the 17% response seems unjustified." Israel's Finance Ministry said only $11 million is currently collected from tariffs on U.S. agricultural imports. Most U.S. goods entering Israel are already tariff-free.
