US President Trump took action on Friday to exempt graphite, tungsten, uranium, gold bars, and other metals from tariffs in his country, while imposing tariffs on silicone products. According to the executive order issued on Friday, these changes will take effect on Monday. Trump's directive may also expedite the implementation of customized trade agreements between the United States and other countries, making it easier for Washington to cancel tariffs on aircraft components, generic drugs, and certain products that cannot be grown, mined, or naturally produced domestically (such as special spices, coffee, and some rare metals). The President's order states that these changes were made based on recommendations from US officials. According to the measure, "these modifications are necessary and appropriate to address the national emergency declared by Trump when he first implemented national tariffs in April."
