Countries to face 10%-70% tariffs from August 1 under new US plan
-
PRESIDENT Donald Trump said he plans to start sending letters informing trading partners of their tariff rates as soon as Friday, as negotiations to avoid higher US levies enter the final stretch.
"My inclination is to send a letter out and say what tariff they're going to be paying," he told reporters on Thursday. "It's just much easier." He added: "We're going to be sending some letters out, starting probably tomorrow." Countries will start paying the tariffs from August 1, the president said. "They'll range in value from maybe 60 or 70 percent tariffs to 10 and 20 percent tariffs," Trump added.
