#TrumpTariffs

Former President Donald Trump has reinstated a series of retaliatory tariffs on key trading partners of the United States, effective August 1, 2025. These tariffs include a 25% tariff on imports from Japan and South Korea, with additional levels reaching up to 40% on goods from countries such as Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, and South Africa.

Trump also threatened to impose an additional 10% tariff on countries that ignore his policies and adopt the trends of the BRICS group.

These measures come after extending the deadline for negotiations from July 9 to August 1, with more than 12 official warning letters sent. The stated goal is to protect American workers and reduce the trade deficit, while experts warn of negative effects on markets, such as declining U.S. stocks and rising inflation.
