President Trump Places Tariffs On 7 More Countries, Here’s The Full List:


President Trump is making sure the United States is no longer ripped off on trading.

On Wednesday, President Trump issued letters to seven countries on which he plans to place tariffs.

The countries are the following:

  • Libya
  • Iraq
  • Algeria
  • Sri Lanka
  • Moldova
  • Brunei

USA Today had more details on how much the tariffs are and when they are set to take place:

President Donald Trump notified seven more countries they would be hit with tariffs of at least 20% or more on August 1, in a series of letters to foreign leaders.

In separate July 9 letters to each targeted country, Trump said he would impose 30% tariff rates on imports from Libya, Sri Lanka, Iraq and Algeria. He said Moldova and Brunei would face 25% tariffs, while the Philippines would be hit with a 20% rate.

Trump announced new rates for Cambodia, Thailand, Bangladesh, Indonesia and other countries earlier in the week. He also put higher tariffs on imports from Japan and South Korea.

The new notices bring the total number of countries for which Trump has hiked tariffs this week to 21. He sent letters to 14 countries on July 7. He told reporters later that day that he was open to negotiations with countries prior to August 1.

But he said of the deadline and process, “As far as I’m concerned, we’re done.”

Trump insisted at a Cabinet meeting the next day that the August 1 collection date for the tariffs was firm.

The move by Trump comes days after he sent tariff letters to seven other countries.

CBS had the full list:

President Trump on Monday said the U.S will impose 25% tariffs on goods from South Korea and Japan by Aug. 1, while later threatening to hit more than a dozen other nations with steep import duties by next month.

Mr. Trump initially posted two nearly identical letters, addressed to Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung, on his Truth Social media platform outlining the new tariffs. A 90-day freeze on country-specific U.S. tariffs on dozens of nations, including Japan and South Korea, expires on July 9. That deadline, however, is no longer significant, with Mr. Trump saying on social media that “tariffs will start being paid on Aug. 1, 2025.”

“In other words, all money will be due and payable starting Aug. 1, 2025 — No extensions will be granted,” he added.
Mr. Trump on Monday afternoon also announced separate tariffs on an additional 12 trade partners. Myanmar and Laos face a 40% tariff rate, the highest of the new levies the U.S. is threatening to deploy. Thailand and Cambodia face potential tariffs of 36%, while Mr. Trump announced slightly lower tariffs of 35% on both Bangladesh and Serbia.

Indonesia is the lone country facing a possible tariff rate of 32%. Imports from South Africa and Bosnia and Herzegovina will be subject to 30% duties as of Aug. 1, while goods from Malaysia, Kazakhstan and Tunisia will be taxed at 25%, Mr. Trump said in letters posted on Truth Social. On Tuesday, Mr. Trump said on Truth Social that more tariff letters “will be sent today, tomorrow, and for the next short period of time.”
