Finance Minister Scott Bessent has just announced: negotiations "in good faith" or face maximum taxation, reverting to Trump's level of April 2.
Some countries may face tax rates over 100%.
China has temporarily reduced taxes to 30%.
Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos are still facing tax rates of 45–49%.
Bessent expressed: no patience, no more pretense.
The United States sets the terms, accept the agreement or take the hit.
