U.S. and Virginia Trade Policy Updates
January 16, 2026
Over the past quarter, the Trump administration announced a wide-ranging set of trade and tariff actions that could impact Virginia companies. The U.S. eliminated “reciprocal” tariffs on a broad range of agricultural products not produced in sufficient quantities domestically, as well as additional tariffs that had been placed on Brazil. New or revised trade frameworks or deals were announced with Switzerland, Lichtenstein, China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Guatemala, El Salvador, Ecuador, and Argentina. In addition, the U.S. lifted an embargo on defence trade with Cambodia, explored expanding trade with Central Asia, and increased tariffs on Nicaragua.
