Israel announced on Tuesday that it is canceling all tariffs imposed on American goods at the instruction of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders.
Netanyahu stated that this move is aimed at increasing competition in the market, enhancing economic diversity, and reducing the cost of living for Israelis.
'In addition to the economic benefits for the Israeli economy and citizens, this step will allow us to further strengthen the alliance and ties between Israel and the United States,' Netanyahu said. 'We will continue to work on removing barriers and tariffs and enhance our special relationship with the United States.'
Israel announced its plan in a joint statement, indicating that this decision was made with the participation of Netanyahu, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, and the country's Minister of Economy and Industry Nir Barkat, one day before President Donald Trump was set to impose corresponding tariffs on U.S. trading partners.
The U.S. is Israel's largest trading partner and closest ally, with bilateral trade worth $34 billion in 2024.
