Trump Says US Will Set New Tariff Rates for More Nations Within Weeks

โ€˜Weโ€™ll be telling people what they will be paying to do business in the United States,โ€™ the president said.

President Donald Trump said that the White House will likely inform various countries on new tariff rates in the coming weeks, after his administration initiated a 90-day pause on rates last month to lower duties to 10 percent across the board.

While speaking on Friday at an event in the United Arab Emirates, Trump said that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will start speaking to nations that were subject to the 90-day pause.

โ€œSo at a certain point over the next two to three weeks, I think Scott and Howard will be sending letters out essentially telling peopleโ€”and weโ€™ll be very fairโ€”but weโ€™ll be telling people what they will be paying to do business in the United States,โ€ Trump said.

โ€œI guess you could say they could appeal it, but for the most part, I think weโ€™re going to be very fair.โ€

He cautioned that it is โ€œnot possible to meet the number of people that want to see us.โ€

On April 2, during his sweeping tariffs announcement, Trump said he would impose 10 percent tariffs on nearly every country in the world and higher rates on countries that do more trade with the United States. A week later, the higher rates were paused, but he raised rates for China to 145 percent before he announced earlier this week that the White House came to an agreement with Beijing to lower those rates.

Under an order signed by Trump this week, the White House said that the United States is dropping the extra tariffs it imposed on China this year to 30 percent from the 145 percent rate that was announced last month, while China is cutting its tariffs on the United States to 10 percent from 125 percent.

The United States and the United Kingdom also came to an agreement on trade days before the China announcement. Under the deal agreed on May 8, the United States will continue to impose a new 10 percent tariff on imports of most British goods but will reduce higher tariffs on imports of British cars, steel, and aluminum.
