Irish exports fell 43% in April compared to March as tariffs hit trade
During April, €21.9bn worth of goods was exported out of Ireland, 43% lower than the €38.1bn recorded in March.
The value of Irish exports declined by 43% in April compared to March, driven primarily by a drop-off in exports to the US following the introduction of tariffs by President Donald Trump.
On April 2, Mr Trump announced wide-sweeping tariffs on all imports into the US. The EU was initially hit with a 20% tariff.
