Trump's decision to issue unilateral tariff notifications suggests his administration has concluded that most countries will not secure bilateral trade deals before the deadline. "My inclination is to send a letter out and say what tariffs they are going to be paying," Trump said when asked about additional agreements.
According to Business Standard, the letters will specify tariff rates that countries will face if they fail to reach agreements with the U.S. by July 91.ย The Trump administration has secured deals with only three countries so far: the United Kingdom, China, and Vietnam.
