The Trump administration aims to finalize new trade deals amid ongoing negotiations.

President Donald Trump said the Aug. 1 deadline for imposing new tariffs on imports from several U.S. trade partners will not be extended, reinforcing his administration’s push to rebalance trade relationships.

On the morning of July 30, Trump said on his Truth Social account that the deadline is the deadline.

“It stands strong, and will not be extended,” the president wrote in all-caps.

Since early April, the Trump administration has pursued reciprocal tariffs on countries it says have disadvantaged American exporters through tariffs and non-tariff barriers.

After initially setting high tariffs on imports to the United States, the administration dropped the baseline tariff to 10 percent, which it said was for a negotiation period. Since then, the deadline for crafting new bilateral trade agreements was extended to Aug. 1.

In the final weeks of this period, the White House has sent letters to more than 20 countries warning that higher tariffs will take effect next month unless agreements are reached.

As of Wednesday morning, the United States and India have not yet come to an agreement on an incomplete trade deal that the two countries are working on. On July 30, Trump stated on Truth Social that the United States has a “massive” trade deficit with India and plans to impose a 25 percent tariff on imports from India.

During this period, the Trump administration has secured several trade deals with major trading partners.

On July 27, Trump announced an agreement with the European Union that sets tariffs on most imports from the 27-member economic bloc at 15 percent. The EU is committed to purchasing $750 billion in U.S. energy and investing $600 billion more in the United States.

On July 22, the United States agreed to a new trade deal with Japan. The agreement includes reciprocal tariffs set at 15 percent and opens Japanese markets to U.S. exports of cars, trucks, and rice.

On July 15, the United States and Indonesia reached a deal setting a 19 percent tariff on Indonesian imports. U.S. exports to Indonesia will not be subject to tariffs. Indonesia also agreed to purchase U.S. energy, agricultural goods, and Boeing jets.

The United States has also signed new trade deals with the United Kingdom, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Negotiations over a likely deal with China are ongoing.
