Trump trade adviser: Trump’s tariff rates ‘pretty much set’

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said in an interview set to air Sunday that President Trump’s newly announced tariff rates are “pretty much set” and the public should not expect them to come down in the near future.

Trump signed an executive order that modified tariff rates for dozens of countries after he had twice delayed plans to implement “reciprocal” tariffs on other nations. Tariff rates range from as high as 41 percent on goods from Syria to as low as 10 percent, the baseline established for all imports

The executive order states that all imports will face a 10 percent tariff. The order goes into effect Aug. 7.
