US EditionA Look at the Countries that Received Trump’s Tariff Letters
UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – President Trump set 36% tariffs on imports from 14 countries, mainly in Asia, targeting trade imbalances and warning of higher penalties if retaliation occurs, starting August 1.
- President Donald Trump sent tariff warning letters to 14 countries on July 7–8, threatening higher tariffs starting August 1 if no trade deals are reached.
- This followed Trump's April 2 announcement of tariffs up to 49% for some, with a 90-day pause extended to August 1 to pressure nations for more concessions.
- Tariffs range mostly from 25% to 40%, affecting major exporters like Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, and others, while recipients express intent to negotiate.
- Experts warn these tariffs will raise prices and slow economies, causing job losses and market volatility, impacting supply chains beyond direct exporters to the U.S.
- Diplomatic and trade talks continue as countries seek deals before the August 1 deadline, but uncertainty remains over Trump's approach and possible tariff adjustments.
