Nuanu’s $70M investment launch in Bali draws global attention from 10+ countries

On February 10, 2025, President Trump declared a fresh round of 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, expanding upon the protectionist measures first introduced in 2018. Dubbed the “Trump 2.0 tariffs,” these duties make no exception for allied nations, a strategic move intended to invigorate U.S. manufacturing, reduce foreign dependency, and, as the administration asserts, stabilize domestic prices in the long run.

In characteristic bravado, Trump proclaimed that Canada should be treated as the “51st state,” hinting at potential exemptions for Australia while making no such concessions for others. His economic advisor, Peter Navarro, framed the policy as a necessary counterstrike against years of unchecked trade manipulation. Future levies on copper, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors loom on the horizon, and with the product exclusion process now scrapped, tighter oversight on tariff evasions is expected.
