Trump Tariff Highlights: US President Donald Trump on Friday unveiled an array of import levies that ranged as high as 41 per cent on Syria and included a hike on Canadian imports from the current 25 per cent to 35 per cent. Rates for India remained unchanged at 25 per cent, as announced by Trump earlier this week, but the duties for Pakistan have been slashed to 19 per cent, from the earlier 29 per cent.

This came after Trump said the US has struck a deal with India's neighbour, Pakistan, to jointly develop its oil reserves.

A range of new tariffs is due to take effect in one week, with separate sector-specific duties -- on copper -- also being implemented on trading partners.

Per Trump's order, the “universal” tariff for goods coming into the US will remain at 10 per cent, the same level that was implemented on April 2. However, that 10 per cent rate will apply only to countries with which the US has a trade surplus.

US Trump Tariff LIVE: Why Trump Hiked Canada tariff From 25% To 35%

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order increasing tariffs on Canadian goods to 35% from 25% on all products not covered by the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, the White House said. Goods transshipped to another country to evade the new tariffs would be subject to a transshipment levy of 40%, according to a White House fact sheet.

The move - which Washington linked in part to what it said was Canada's failure to stop fentanyl smuggling - is the latest blow in a months-long tariff war which Trump initiated shortly after taking power.

The announcement blaming Canada's "continued inaction and retaliation" comes after Trump said Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney reached out ahead of an August 1 tariff deadline, but no conversations between the two took place.

Trump had said any country failing to strike a deal with the U.S. before Friday will be subjected to higher tariffs imposed on goods.

US Tariff News LIVE: "India Doesn't Have Leverage," Says Trade Expert On Trump's 25% Tariff On India

 Washington, DC: On 25% US tariff, plus a penalty on India, U.S.-India Business Council President Atul Keshap says, "The truth is that India doesn't have the leverage that some other economies have on the US. India only represents about 2 and a half per cent of America's total international trade. I think the pharma that comes in from India is probably the most important element that comes into our country. Those items will be taxed a little bit higher. But I don't think it's going to have the kind of impact that similar tariffs on Chinese or European goods would have. There are certain very strategic and very necessary imprts that we make from those countries that I think, have caused us to think a little bit more carefully about the impact on the American economy. But in the case of India, I don't think that impact is similarly going to be felt. So, I get the sense that if these tariffs happen will not really have a very disruptive impact at home."

US Tariff LIVE: Trump's Tariffs Could Squeeze US Factories, Boost Costs By Up To 4.5%, New Analysis Finds

As President Donald Trump prepares to announce new tariff increases, the costs of his policies are starting to come into focus for a domestic manufacturing sector that depends on global supply chains, with a new analysis suggesting factory costs could increase by roughly 2% to 4.5%.

“There’s going to be a cash squeeze for a lot of these firms,” said Chris Bangert-Drowns, the researcher at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth who conducted the analysis. Those seemingly small changes at factories with slim profit margins, Bangert-Drowns said, “could lead to stagnation of wages, if not layoffs and closures of plants" if the costs are untenable.

The analysis, released Tuesday, points to the challenges Trump might face in trying to sell his tariffs to the public as a broader political and economic win and not just as evidence his negotiating style gets other nations to back down. The success of Trump's policies ultimately depends on whether everyday Americans become wealthier and factory towns experience revivals, a goal outside economists say his Republican administration is unlikely to meet with tariffs.

Trump has announced new frameworks with the European Union, Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia and Britain that would each raise the import taxes charged by the United States. He’s prepared to levy tariffs against goods from dozens of other countries starting on Friday in the stated range of 15% to 50%.

US Trump Tariff LIVE: Trump Signs Order To Justify 50% Tariffs On Brazil

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday to impose his threatened 50% tariffs on Brazil, setting a legal rationale that Brazil’s policies and criminal prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro constitute an economic emergency under a 1977 law.

Trump had threatened the tariffs July 9 in a letter to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. But the legal basis of that threat was an earlier executive order premised on trade imbalances being a threat to the U.S. economy. But America ran a $6.8 billion trade surplus last year with Brazil, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

A statement by the White House said Brazil’s judiciary had tried to coerce social media companies and block their users, though it did not name the companies involved, X and Rumble.  Trump appears to identify with Bolsonaro, who attempted to overturn the results of his 2022 loss to Lula. Similarly, Trump was indicted in 2023 for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
