UNITED STATES, JUL 29 – President Trump aims to end US trade deficits by imposing 15% to 20% tariffs on imports from countries without separate trade deals, affecting about 200 nations worldwide.
- On Monday, US President Donald Trump announced a global baseline tariff of 15% to 20%, exceeding the April baseline tariff.

- As the August 1 deadline looms, Trump said his administration will notify around 200 countries soon of their new world tariff rate.
