Tariffs return to April rates on August 1 without deals, Bessent says
- The United States will reinstate tariffs at April 2 rates on August 1 for countries without trade agreements, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.
- This follows a 90-day tariff pause initiated in April to allow trade talks, with the deadline extended from July 9 to August 1 amid ongoing negotiations.
- EU-US negotiators continued talks over the weekend, with the EU making progress but other countries like Japan remaining resistant, raising concerns over tariff impacts.
- Bessent stated the administration applies 'maximum pressure' and expects several deal announcements soon, while President Trump plans to send letters warning of tariff reversion.
- The tariffs could reach up to 50%, affecting key sectors, and the August 1 deadline signals intensified pressure for swift agreements or higher import taxes.
