November 13, 2025
The Trump administration has announced trade frameworks with Argentina, Ecuador, El Salvador, and Guatemala. These frameworks announced Friday aim to boost U.S. firms’ ability to sell industrial and agricultural products in these countries. The frameworks have yet to be finalized and are expected to be signed within two weeks. The frameworks focus on reducing nontariff barriers and cutting tariffs to zero on American-made goods. They also include commitments to not impose digital services taxes on U.S. companies. Under the tariffs previously announced in August by Trump, goods imported from Argentina, El Salvador and Guatemala are taxed at 10%, while products from Ecuador are taxed at 15%.
