Trump delays tariff hike again. Here are the new tariff rates.
UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – President Trump extended the tariff pause until August 1 and adjusted rates for 14 countries to encourage trade deals and avoid retaliation, the White House said.
- On July 7, 2025, President Donald Trump notified 14 nations about the implementation of new reciprocal tariffs that will take effect in the United States starting August 1.
- The new tariffs, ranging from 25% to 40%, were delayed from July 9 after a 90-day pause to allow more time for trade deals, but the August 1 deadline is not necessarily final.
- The tariffs focus on key imported goods such as household appliances, electronic devices, chemical substances, and plastic materials, amid ongoing difficulties in relocating manufacturing back to the U.S. due to deep-rooted economic obstacles.
- A 2019 study found tariffs fully pass through to domestic prices, and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell noted goods inflation is expected to continue rising.
- The delay extends uncertainty for global businesses and trading partners, signaling a risk of losing momentum if deadlines slip again and stressing the need for consistent trade negotiation commitments.

Economist calls out Trump for copying old tariff numbers ‘almost exactly’

The high tariffs at the beginning of April have been paused. But now the levels are starting to rise again. We should be just as alarmed this time.
