#TrumpTariffs Trump signed a decree on Monday extending the deadline for countries wishing to avoid U.S. so-called retaliatory tariffs to August 1 for concluding trade agreements with Washington. Initially, the negotiations were supposed to end on July 9.

Earlier that day, Donald Trump published online copies of letters addressed to 14 countries, in which he announced the introduction of new tariff rates against them starting August 1.

The rates announced on Monday are similar to the tariffs that Trump presented in early April during the so-called liberation day. At that time, the president announced a minimum rate of 10% for all countries and - suspended a few days after their introduction - higher rates for nearly 60 countries with a trade surplus with the USA.
