Trump Sends Tariff Threats to 14 Countries

UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – The tariffs aim to address trade imbalances and encourage US manufacturing, with $465 billion in imports from affected countries facing 25-40% duties, effective August 1, 2025.

  • On July 9, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump sent letters to leaders of 14 countries announcing reciprocal tariffs ranging from 25% to 40% to begin August 1.
  • These tariffs follow stalled trade negotiations and a 90-day pause that ended on July 9, with Trump allowing room for further negotiations before the August 1 deadline.
  • The letters emphasized the need for balanced trade, warned of higher tariffs if retaliation occurs, and offered tariff adjustments if countries reduce barriers or manufacture in the U.S.
  • Tariff rates include 40% on Laos and Myanmar, 36% on Thailand and Cambodia, 35% on Bangladesh and Serbia, 32% on Indonesia, 30% on South Africa and Bosnia, and 25% on Japan, South Korea, and Malaysia.
  • The tariffs are intended to remedy the persistent U.S. trade deficits and promote more equitable trade practices. Trump assured that approvals would be processed swiftly and efficiently, emphasizing the United States’ commitment to professionalism and reliability.
