Trump Issues More Letters to Countries in Push for Tariff Deals

UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – President Trump issued tariff letters to six countries with rates from 20% to 30% effective August 1 as part of efforts to balance trade and encourage negotiations, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump sent letters setting tariff rates from 20 to 30 percent to six countries including the Philippines and Libya.
  • This followed ongoing pressure to secure trade deals, with earlier tariffs imposed in April and a postponed August 1 deadline to finalize agreements.
  • The tariffs target mainly Asian nations, while major partners like the EU have yet to receive such letters amid talks and mutual readiness to reach agreements.
  • California leaders report tariffs cost 64,000 jobs and $24 billion, with statements like 'Uncertainty is what's killing us' illustrating business community frustration.
  • Trump claimed the U.S. is close to a trade deal with India, which has a growing footwear industry valued at $6 billion in exports, suggesting potential shifts in trade relations ahead.
