Welcome to our coverage

Welcome to DW's coverage of the global trade developments as US President Donald Trump's tariff deadline approaches.

Trump originally announced his sweeping "reciprocal" tariffs on US trade partners on April 2 but days later paused their implementation for 90 days to allow for talks with US trading partners.

While some major economies like Japan, the European Union and South Korea struck trade framework deals with Washington, others such as India, Brazil and Canada haven't yet managed to reach an agreement, leaving their exports to the US facing much higher tariffs.

Stay tuned for the latest updates and analysis on what all this means for the world economy.
