Where do trade talks stand in the rush to avert higher US tariffs?
- On July 4, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to send letters setting unilateral tariff rates to trading partners, with tariffs starting August 1.
- This announcement follows a 90-day tariff pause begun in early April, intended to allow trading partners time to negotiate reciprocal trade deals before July 9.
- Key partners including the European Union, Japan, India, South Korea, and Australia are still finalizing agreements amid uncertainties about tariff levels and deal specifics.
- Trump indicated that tariffs could fall anywhere between 10 and 50 percent, suggesting rates such as 30 or 35 percent, or another figure chosen by his administration, while von der Leyen emphasized that without an agreement, all measures remain possible.
- If no agreements emerge by July 9, higher tariffs will take effect, potentially escalating trade tensions and triggering EU retaliatory measures, while some partners express cautious optimism about future talks.
