#TrumpTariffs The chaos of the trade war that engulfed the first months of President Donald Trump's second term seemed to be about to return on Monday when he threatened two major trading partners of the United States with higher tariffs, while a key negotiation deadline was delayed.

Shortly after noon on Monday, Trump published two letters addressed to Japan and South Korea threatening them with tariffs of 25%, and higher for items deemed to have been transshipped through their countries.
