#TrumpTariffs On Monday, Donald Trump made formal announcements in 14 different countries and informed their leaders that the United States would impose new ceiling tariffs on their goods starting August 1.

The letters, posted directly by Trump on Truth Social, come just days before a planned deadline, which would have forced diplomatic allies to revert to previous highs. He called the letters "beautiful" and a step towards "strong friendships," although the terms were anything but gentle.
