#TrumpTariffs 🇺🇸 President Donald Trump has reignited his tariff strategy with a bold new wave of trade measures set to take effect August 1, 2025. Here's what’s unfolding:
📜 Tariff Letters Sent to 14 Nations
Trump has dispatched formal letters to countries including Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, South Africa, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Thailand, announcing tariffs ranging from 25% to 40% on imports. These are part of his “reciprocal tariff” policy aimed at correcting trade imbalances.
🔁 Key Features of the Tariff Plan
- 25% tariffs on imports from Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, and Tunisia
- 30–36% tariffs for countries like South Africa, Bosnia, Cambodia, and Thailand
- 40% tariffs on Laos and Myanmar
- Additional 10% tariff threat for countries aligning with BRICS, citing “anti-Americanism”
🕰️ Timeline & Flexibility
- Originally set to resume July 9, the tariff hike was delayed to August 1 via executive order

💬 Negotiation Status
- Deals have been reached with UK, China, and Vietnam
- India is still negotiating, with Trump suggesting a deal is close
📉 Market Reaction
