Trump: Global Baseline Tariff Will Likely Be 15% to 20%
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.
- He added, "most countries will face a 15% to 20% tariff because you can’t sit down and make 200 deals," citing negotiation limits, Trump said.
- Earlier, Trump announced a trade deal with the European Union that includes a 10% tariff on most EU goods and $600 billion of investments, prior to the global tariff plan.
- Negotiations have intensified as prospects for deals dim before Friday, amid Trump’s announcement of a 15% to 20% tariff on global imports.
- As the August 1 deadline looms, Trump said his administration will notify around 200 countries soon of their new world tariff rate.
