Ireland is expected to be one of the most affected countries when President Trump announces a new round of tariffs later this week.
EU goods are expected to face a tariff of about 20% when entering the United States.

In 2024, Irish goods exports to the US were worth €73bn (£61bn), almost a third of the country’s total exports.
the exporter need not be based in the origin (‘tariffed’) country to have their goods taxed on import.
funneling profits to overseas subsidiaries to lower a corporation’s overall tax burden is a different issue.
