Trump says Aug 1 tariff deadline will not be extended
UNITED STATES, JUL 30 – President Trump confirmed the August 1 deadline for tariffs on dozens of countries will stand, targeting India with a 25% tariff amid stalled trade negotiations, officials said.
- President Donald Trump announced on July 30 that the August 1 deadline for reciprocal tariffs will not be extended and tariffs will resume as scheduled.
- This announcement follows a 90-day pause on steep tariffs imposed in April intended to allow trade negotiations with dozens of countries, including India, South Korea, and Canada.
- India has offered to steeply cut tariffs on some US goods and pledged to ease non-tariff barriers while excluding agriculture and dairy sectors, which are considered 'no-go' areas by New Delhi.
- Trump criticized India for imposing what he described as the toughest and most irritating trade restrictions beyond tariffs and announced that Indian products would be subject to a 25 percent tariff starting Friday.
- The tariffs restarting on August 1 will raise the average effective tariff rate above 20 percent, the highest in a century, with JPMorgan warning this could increase recession risks in 2025.
