BREAKING: Trump Slaps 15% Tariff on Nigerian, Others (FULL LIST)

U.S. President Donald Trump has imposed a 15% import tariff on goods from Nigeria and several African nations under a new Executive Order titled “Further modifying the reciprocal tariff rates.”

U.S. President Donald Trump has officially imposed a new 15% import tariff on goods from Nigeria and several other African nations, including Zimbabwe, Zambia, Uganda, Mozambique, Mauritius, Ghana, Malawi, Lesotho, and Madagascar.

The decision was announced in a White House Executive Order issued on Thursday, titled “Further modifying the reciprocal tariff rates.”

According to the document:

“These modifications shall be effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m.”

The order also set higher tariff rates for other countries, with South Africa and Libya facing 30%, and Tunisia at 25%. Non-African nations such as the United Kingdom (10%), India (25%), and Japan (15%) were also hit by the revised tariffs.

This move follows a previous Executive Order issued on April 2, 2025, signaling the administration’s plan to introduce new global import tariffs targeting multiple countries, including Nigeria.
