Trump Says 'Probably 12' Tariff Letters Being Sent Out on Jul 7
- On July 4, US President Donald Trump announced he signed trade letters to 12 countries outlining new tariff levels before the July 9 deadline.
- This action followed a 90-day suspension of higher tariffs to allow negotiations, during which deals were reached only with Britain and Vietnam.
- Trump described the letters as 'better' and easier to send than negotiating multiple agreements, emphasizing a 'take it or leave it' approach.
- He stated tariffs will range widely from 10% up to 70%, and that the countries receiving the letters would be publicly named on the day of sending.
- The letters signal a shift to firm tariff enforcement for countries without deals, suggesting possible escalations in the ongoing global trade tensions.
