Tariffs return to April rates on August 1 without deals, Bessent says

UNITED STATES, JUL 7 – President Trump has signed letters notifying about tariffs on goods from 100 countries set for August 1 if trade deals are not finalized by the July 9 deadline, Treasury Secretary said.

  • U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed on August 1 that tariffs will resume at April 2 rates on that day if no new trade deals are reached.
  • The tariff resumption follows a 90-day pause that expired on July 9, which gave trading partners more time to negotiate after initial April tariff announcements.
  • EU-US trade talks continued through the weekend with the EU facing tariffs potentially soaring to 50% on goods like French cheese and German electronics if no agreement is struck.
  • Bessent stated that the administration is employing "maximum pressure," anticipates several major announcements soon, and emphasized that returning to previous rates is entirely up to those involved.
  • The tariff deadline and continued negotiations suggest ongoing economic uncertainty, while the U.S. plans to send letters warning partners of returning high duties unless deals finalize.
