The October 16, 2026 executive order implementing the Graham Act waives all duties under sections 112 and 113 of the Act and the order itself. This includes the stated 500% increase on Russian goods and 100% increases for specified countries linked to Russian energy purchases or sanctions evasion. The waiver remains in effect until the President or Secretary of State determines further action is appropriate under section 4(d).

July 10, 2026 was the USTR deadline for public comments on the design of the US-China 'Board of Trade' mechanism and on the scope of up to $30 billion of tariff relief for 'non-sensitive' Chinese imports; rebuttal comments run through July 27 under the docket opened in June. On the agricultural track, Bloomberg reported July 2 — with subsequent July 8 trade-press reporting — that the two sides agreed in principle for the US to end its 10% fentanyl-related tariff and for China to reciprocally drop its 10% retaliatory tariff on US agricultural goods including soybeans and grains, targeting roughly October 1, 2026. As of July 15, however, no announcement from China's Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council has formalized the reduction. China's stated purchase commitments are at least 25 million tons of soybeans per year through 2028 and at least $17 billion per year of US agricultural products; actual new-season bookings so far total only about 200,000 tons. For context, GACC June data released July 14 showed China's exports up 27% year on year — the fastest pace since October 2021 — with shipments to the US up 14%.

Houthi forces resumed attacks on merchant shipping in the Red Sea after a months-long lull — the first sustained attacks since late 2025. On July 5 a bulker came under gunfire about 30 nautical miles southwest of Hodeidah, with the crew safe; on July 6 the Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned bulker Magic Seas was attacked 51 nautical miles southwest of Al-Hudaydah with drones, missiles, RPGs and small arms — the crew of 22 abandoned ship and the vessel sank, as confirmed by Houthi-released video. On July 7 the Greek-owned Eternity C was attacked by UAVs and RPG-armed speedboats and sank on July 9; 4 crew were killed and 11 mariners, Indian and Filipino, were seized and remained in Houthi custody as of July 10. The Houthis declared a ban on ships they deem 'Israeli-linked,' and US MARAD issued advisory 2026-006 for the Red Sea, Bab el-Mandeb and Gulf of Aden. Suez containership transits were already about 60% below pre-crisis levels — roughly 26 per week versus about 80 — and Maersk had re-diverted select services via the Cape of Good Hope from March 2026. The sinkings entrench Cape routing, which typically adds 10-14 days of transit plus higher fuel and war-risk premiums on Asia-Europe and Asia-US East Coast lanes.

On July 1, 2026 the three USMCA parties held the mandatory first joint review, conducted virtually under Article 34.7. USTR Ambassador Greer's same-day statement: 'The United States did not agree to renew the USMCA in its current form. As a result, the USMCA is not renewed.' The US refusal blocks the automatic 16-year extension to 2042 and shifts the agreement into annual joint reviews each July 1; absent a future consensus to extend, the USMCA terminates July 1, 2036 under Article 34.7's sunset mechanics (the 2036 date is drawn from law-firm analyses, not the USTR statement itself). Mexico (President Sheinbaum) and Canada had both submitted written support for the 16-year extension, having floated an extension to 2042 with 6-year reviews — rejected by the US; Economy Secretary Ebrard has floated a fallback of 10-year extension terms. The agreement remains fully in force meanwhile: tariff preferences, rules of origin and dispute settlement are unchanged, and roughly 85% of Mexican exports to the US still enter tariff-free under USMCA compliance. Mexico's next-phase priority is negotiating down US §232 steel/aluminum/auto tariffs, while Canada's retaliatory tariffs (~C$15.6bn on US steel/aluminum plus autos) remain in place.

MOFCOM Announcement No. 24 of 2026 (June 24) published the Working Measures for Industrial and Supply Chain Security Investigations — the implementing procedures under State Council Order No. 834 (effective May 1, 2026). The measures establish a §301-style investigative mechanism on the Chinese side, aimed at foreign countries, regions, or international organizations that impose discriminatory prohibitions or restrictions on Chinese supply chains, with legal basis in the National Security Law, Foreign Relations Law, Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law, and Foreign Trade Law. Investigation tools include questioning, document seizure and copying, public solicitation of leads, questionnaires, technical evaluation, hearings, and on-site investigation; Chinese firms can petition MOFCOM in writing with evidence via a private-complaint channel. The outcome menu spans prohibiting or restricting imports/exports of goods, technology and services trade, a novel 'special fees' instrument, and Anti-Foreign-Sanctions-Law sanctions. As a companion enforcement signal, MOFCOM Announcement No. 26 (June 24, effective July 1) created a whistleblower reporting-and-reward mechanism for strategic-minerals export-control violations — unlicensed exports, disguising controlled items as components, third-country transshipment, and providing logistics, customs, e-commerce or financial services to unlawful exports. On June 18, the chairman of a major Chinese precision-optics company was placed under compulsory measures by Shanghai Customs for falsely declaring germanium-containing lenses as 'ordinary optical glass'.

Round 2 of US-Mexico USMCA bilateral negotiations ran June 15-17, 2026 in Washington DC over three days — the round had previously been flagged as June 16-17, and Ebrard's delegation worked June 15-18 including side-meetings. A joint Greer-Ebrard statement marked the conclusion. Progress reported: advanced rules of origin for certain industrial goods plus 'economic security' (limiting China's benefits from USMCA access); conceptual discussions begun on agriculture, labor and environment; steel/aluminum/autos trade discussed; trade-remedy cases addressed, including new duties on Mexican tomatoes and the active strawberry investigation; and agreement to establish a committee reviewing USMCA Chapter 12 (Sectoral Annexes) for regulatory compatibility. The hardest fault line is the US seasonal-produce TRQ demand — Ebrard publicly stated Mexico will not accept seasonal restrictions and would source agricultural imports elsewhere. Greer: 'I think we probably will not resolve all the issues by July 1.' Round 3 is confirmed for the week of July 20, 2026 in Mexico City per Greer's July 1 statement; Greer and Ebrard also met separately on June 19.

On June 15, 2026 the US Supreme Court denied certiorari in HMTX Industries v. United States, leaving intact the Federal Circuit's September 25, 2025 ruling that upheld the §301 List 3 (~$200bn) and List 4A (~$120bn+) China tariffs imposed via USTR's §307 modification authority. The denial definitively ends the 8-year consolidated 'In re Section 301 Cases' refund litigation — no refunds for the thousands of plaintiff importers. List 3 duties at 25% and List 4A duties at 7.5% are now litigation-proof. The §307 modification authority — the same authority underpinning the pending 60-economy forced-labor and 16-economy excess-capacity §301 actions — carries appellate blessing.

In early June 2026, USTR published a Federal Register notice seeking public comment on the scope and operation of the US-China Board of Trade — the new bilateral institution announced at the May 14-15 Beijing summit. The mechanism is intended to operationalize ongoing dialogue on balanced and reciprocal trade, including identification of non-sensitive goods that can deliver benefits for US farmers, ranchers, fishermen, small businesses, manufacturers, and workers. Public comment deadline: July 10, 2026. China's MOFCOM spokesperson He Yongqian publicly endorsed the Board of Trade as the preferred negotiation venue, contrasting it with the forced-labor §301 tariff action which MOFCOM opposes. The Board of Trade is the structural complement to the Board of Investment also established at the Beijing summit.

Proclamation 11032, 'Further Adjusting the Tariff Regimes for Imports of Aluminum, Steel, and Copper,' was signed June 1, 2026, with changes effective June 8, 2026 (the reduced tiers run through December 31, 2027). The §232 derivative rate on agricultural equipment — combines, harvesters and similar machinery — is cut from 25% to 15%. Residential-use HVAC systems and components are added to the temporarily-reduced 15% derivative category, and the 15% category is further expanded to mobile industrial equipment (bulldozers, forklifts) when imported from trade-deal countries. A new incentive tier sets a 10% duty rate for capital equipment with at least 85% US-melted-and-poured steel and aluminum content. Under the recalibrated regime, Japan and Korea §232 imports are effectively capped at a 15% total-duty outcome. Duties apply on the full customs value of the goods.

The first formal US-Mexico USMCA review round closed May 28-29 in Mexico City. Deputy USTR Jeffrey Gerrish led the US delegation (Greer did not personally attend); Marcelo Ebrard led for Mexico. Three core agenda blocks: automotive rules of origin, §232 steel/aluminum derivative boundary conditions, economic security — plus a scope expansion covering medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic-products regulatory compatibility. Round 2 scheduled June 16-17 in Washington, adding agriculture and 'level playing field' topics. Round 3 set for the week of July 20 in Mexico City — placed four days before the §301 16-economy action target of July 24. Canada absent from this bilateral track.

On April 20, 2026, USTR Jamieson Greer and Mexican Secretary of Economy Marcelo Ebrard issued a joint statement directing teams to advance technical work on economic security, complementary trade actions, strengthened rules of origin for key industrial goods, and collaboration on critical minerals. President Sheinbaum publicly framed Mexico's objective: a specialized steel/aluminum/autos agreement before the trilateral review concludes. Ebrard described the negotiating posture as 'sector by sector,' targeting reduced extra-regional dependence — particularly the 85%+ Asian import share in semiconductors, pharmaceuticals and electronics. The first formal bilateral negotiating round is scheduled for the week of May 25, 2026 in Mexico City. USTR has signaled separately that existing US §232 / §301 / §122 tariffs on Mexico-origin goods stay in place during the negotiation window.
