U.S. President Donald Trump plans to announce new customs tariffs on the remaining U.S. trading partners in the coming weeks. Trump emphasized that it is not possible for his administration to negotiate with all trading partners at the same time, underlining that selective steps will be taken during this process.
Donald Trump Plans to Announce New Tariffs in 2-3 Weeks
Trump stated that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick will send letters to the relevant countries, informing them of the “fees to be paid for doing business in the United States.” This announcement came during a meeting with business leaders. Trump said, “I think we will be very fair, but the number of countries wanting to see us is too high. It is impossible to please everyone at once.”
150 Countries Seek Trade Agreements
Trump noted that approximately 150 countries want to make a trade deal with the U.S., but he did not specify which countries fall under this scope. Although the administration will send written notices to some of these countries, it remains unclear which ones will receive them.
Previously Suspended
It is worth recalling that Trump had announced new tariffs on dozens of trading partners on April 2, but due to panic in the markets, the decisions were suspended for 90 days. At that time, foreign governments were given time to negotiate. However, recent developments show that Trump is now moving away from individual negotiations, adopting a more general and swift approach.
China Tariffs May Stay at 30%
It is also being discussed that the current tariffs imposed on China by the Trump administration may remain at 30% until 2025. This indicates a continuation of the U.S.’s economic strategy against China.
