Israel Eliminates All Tariffs on US Goods

In a bold show of alignment with President Donald Trump’s upcoming trade revolution, Israel has officially scrapped all remaining tariffs on American goods. The move, announced Tuesday by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, marks a significant shift in trade policy and a clear nod of respect to the United States ahead of what Trump’s administration is calling “Tariff Liberation Day.”

Trump’s long-awaited reciprocal tariffs are set to take effect Wednesday, targeting countries with massive trade imbalances and unfair practices. While the globalist elites panic, allies like Israel are stepping up, recognizing the importance of strong, balanced trade with America’s next president.

Here’s what you need to know about Israel’s tariff rollback:

• All remaining duties on U.S. imports including fruits, vegetables, and agricultural goods are set to be eliminated.

• The U.S. is Israel’s largest trading partner, with total trade expected to hit $37 billion in 2024.

• The current annual customs revenue from U.S. goods was around $11.3 million a drop in the bucket compared to the strategic benefits.

Finance Minister Smotrich stated this was a move to “strengthen the economic relationship with our most important ally the US.” He emphasized that a zero-tariff policy not only ensures healthy bilateral trade but also safeguards Israel’s economy at a delicate time on the world stage.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu echoed this sentiment, explaining the change would open up Israeli markets, boost competition, and potentially lower the cost of living for consumers. "We will continue to work to reduce barriers and customs, and bolster our special relationship with the US," he declared.

This development is more than a trade tweak it’s a signal. Countries around the world are beginning to recognize the writing on the wall: the era of America-last trade deals is over. President Trump is leading a global recalibration, forcing nations to deal with the U.S. on equal terms.

And Israel just sent a clear message: it would rather work with Trump than risk punitive measures from an America that’s finally standing up for itself.

Additional context matters here:

• Under Joe Biden, the U.S. trade deficit ballooned to over $1 trillion in 2023 proof of just how lopsided things became under globalist mismanagement.

• Trump’s proposed tariff strategy is set to generate over $200 billion in new revenue, according to projections from his advisors.

• Nearly 80% of Republican voters support the implementation of broad reciprocal tariffs, per a March 2024 Gallup poll.

The Israeli government still needs formal approval from the Knesset Finance Committee and final signatures, but make no mistake this is happening. It’s an early win for America’s comeback, and just the beginning of a worldwide reckoning on trade.
