00:0012 Countries to Receive Tariff Letters from Trump President Donald Trump
00:04announced his intention to send letters to 12 countries detailing the tariff levels they
00:09would face on goods exported to the United States. These letters are described as take-it-or-leave-it
00:14offers. Although initially expected to be sent on a Friday, a U.S. national holiday,
00:20the timeline shifted, and Trump stated they would be sent out on a Monday.
00:24These planned letters come amidst a global trade war that has disrupted financial markets.
00:30Earlier in April, Trump had announced a 10% base tariff rate and additional tariffs for most
00:35countries, with some potentially as high as 50%. Following repeated difficulties with major
00:41trading partners such as Japan and the European Union, Trump himself commented that the letters
00:46are better, much easier to send a letter, suggesting they might try to extend current
00:50terms to avoid tariff increases. This strategy also highlights the difficulty of securing comprehensive
00:56trade deals, which cover both tariffs, and non-tariff barriers like agricultural import bans and a
01:03compressed timeline, as most such deals have historically taken years to negotiate.
01:09However, tariffs above the 10% base were suspended for 90 days to allow time for negotiations.
01:16This suspension period was set to end on July 9. Trump also indicated that tariffs could rise even
01:21further, up to 70% with most expected to take effect on August 1. He mentioned that the letters would
01:28outline different amounts of money, different amounts of tariffs. The administration's shift to
01:34this take-it-or-leave-it approach via letters reflects Trump's disillusionment with traditional
01:40negotiation methods. As of the available information, the only finalized agreements concerning these tariffs
01:46are with Britain, in May. Britain secured a deal to maintain a 10% tariff rate and gained preferential
01:52terms for sectors such as automobiles and aircraft engines. Vietnam. Vietnam will see tariffs on many
02:00of its exports cut to 20% from the previously threatened 46%, while many US goods will enter Vietnam
02:07duty-free. However, a deal with India had not materialized, and EU diplomats indicated they had not
02:13reached a breakthrough in talks with the Trump administration, suggesting they might try to extend
02:18current terms to avoid tariff increases. Money expires.
