US EditionTrump to put tariffs of over 10% on smaller nations, including those in Africa and the Caribbean
UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – Tariffs over 10% will target imports from more than 100 smaller African and Caribbean nations, aiming to reduce trade deficits and encourage US domestic production, officials said.
- President Donald Trump told reporters he plans to place tariffs of over 10% on smaller countries, including nations in Africa and the Caribbean.
- Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick interjected that the nations with goods being taxed would generally do relatively modest levels of trade with the U.S. and would be relatively insignificant for addressing Trump's goals of reducing trade imbalances.
- Trump said he would start out at a lower tariff rate and give companies a year to build domestic factories before they faced higher import tax rates, and that computer chips would face a similar style of tariffs.
