White House: Trump to Extend ‘Reciprocal’ Tariff Deadline to Aug. 1
- President Donald Trump extended the deadline for 'reciprocal' tariffs on imports from 14 countries to August 1, 2025.
- Trump delayed the original July 9 deadline to finalize trade details believed to benefit American workers and manufacturing, as explained by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
- The tariffs include 25% rates on goods from Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Kazakhstan, with higher rates ranging up to 40% on Laos, Myanmar, and South Africa, and letters announcing these rates were sent to the countries' leaders.
- Stock futures fell sharply following the announcement, with Dow Jones futures dropping 127 points and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures down 0.24% and 0.19% respectively, reflecting market uncertainty over tariff escalations.
- The tariff extension signals continued trade tensions that have led companies to limit dividend increases amid worries about inflation, employment, and global policy uncertainty.
