🇺🇸📈 Update on #TrumpTariffs
President Donald Trump has announced a postponement until August 1 for the implementation of new tariffs, thus providing a window of time for further negotiations with the European Union. However, for seven countries deemed "non-cooperative," including Japan, South Korea, and South Africa, tariffs ranging from 25% to 40% have already taken effect.
📌 Highlights:
- Tokyo has called the decision "extremely regrettable" and promised to continue bilateral talks.
- Beijing stated that it will defend its rights and criticized unilateral trade practices.
- Tariffs are already impacting the logistics and manufacturing sectors, with increased transportation costs and delays at U.S. ports.
- Trump hinted that the tariffs are "definitive but not 100%," opening the possibility for alternative agreements.
🌍 Global Impact: The measures are generating diplomatic tensions and concerns over the balance of international trade. Meanwhile, the shipping sector and global supply chains are reorganizing to cope with uncertainty.
