PH ready to bargain for US tariff cut
Manila Bulletin
|April 29, 2025
Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Cristina Roque is looking into providing greater access to key export interests as part of concessions that the United States (US) could ask in exchange for lowering the reciprocal tariffs imposed on Philippine goods.
"Not that we're going to offer them, but if they ask for it, we're willing to offer it," Roque told reporters in a chance interview on Monday, April 28.
A government delegation, headed by Roque and Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs (SAPIEA) Secretary Frederick Go, is scheduled to depart Manila on Tuesday, April 29.
During their five-day trip, the officials will meet with US Trade Representative (USTR) Ambassador Jamieson Greer and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
This crucial meeting aims to potentially lower the 17 percent tariffs the US imposes on Philippine imports.
