The dreaded and much-awaited August 1 deadline laid by Donald Trump is here, and as expected his Republican cabinet under his supervision has hit dozens of trade partners with steep tariffs – 35% on Canada, 50% on Brazil<\/a>, 25% on India, 20% on Taiwan, and 39% on Swiss goods.<\/p>\n

The latest and revised executive order stated that goods from all other countries not listed in an annexure would be subject to a 10% US tariff rate.<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump<\/a> has signed a new executive order slapping higher tariffs ahead of a Friday (August 1) timeline – his latest bid to reshape global trade in favour of US businesses. The higher import duty rates, ranging from 10% to 41% are set to start in a duration of seven days for 69 trading partners (68 nations + European Union),<\/a> according to the order. Officials\u00a0from the Trump administration told reporters that more such deals were yet to be announced as Trump’s higher \u2018reciprocal<\/em>\u2019 tariff rates were set to take effect in the upcoming period.<\/p>\n

US-India Deal<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A day after his media address, Trump<\/a> posted an official tweet terming \u2018India and Russia as dead economies\u2019 and imposing a 25% tariff on Indian-export goods, after talks bogged down over access to India’s agriculture sector, further drawing a higher-rate threat from Trump that also included an unspecified penalty for India’s purchases of Russian oil.<\/p>\n

Although negotiations with India were in process and set to take place in the second half of August, the cabinet has vowed to protect the country’s labor-intensive farm sector, as triggers from the opposition party roared, along with a slump in the rupee value.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s Plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The latest tariff sanction has import duties ranging from as high as 41 per cent on Syria, 35 per cent on many goods from Canada, 50 per cent for Brazil, 20 per cent for Taiwan and 39 per cent for Switzerland<\/a>. Meanwhile, the duty on Pakistan imports was slashed from 29 per cent to 19% in a revised announcement, raising eyebrows on Trump\u2019s sudden fondness for this neighbouring country.<\/p>\n
