Trump targets Brunei, Libya and Moldova with latest threat of US tariffs | Trump tariffs
Donald Trump, Brunei, Libya and Moldova aimed at firing letters threatening the harsh tariffs of the US on foreign exports.
The US president was planned to increase tariffs in dozens of countries on Wednesday. At the beginning of this week, he announced a new three -week delay until August 1, but he began to announce new rates that countries will face unless he made an agreement with the White House.
Bangladesh, Japan and South Korea, including the goods imported from 14 countries up to 40% of the US tariffs for Monday announced on Monday after the announcement of plans, Trump wrote to the leaders of six countries on Wednesday and published each letter.
While Algeria claimed that exporters in Iraq, Libya and Sri Lanka would face a 30% tariff of the United States, while exporters in Brunei, Moldova and the Philippines would face 25% tariff.
“These tariffs can be changed up or downward depending on our relationship with your country, Tr Trump wrote. A series of delays and ratio changes disappointed businesses in the US and the world.
On Tuesday, Trump promised us to bring us 50% tariffs up to 200% of foreign drugs and 50% on copper, and the latter pushed the US prices to the highest records.
However, on Wednesday, the President of Gabon, Gine-Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania and Senegal in the White House, said that the President of the Five African countries is not likely to confront US tariffs because they aim to reduce their tariffs in US exports.

“Our assumption is that most countries will provide an agreement or extension to prevent tariff increases,” Pearce said. “However, risks are inclined towards higher rates.”
