Trump issues order imposing new global tariff rates effective Aug. 7
According to the text of the first order, the Trump administration is maintaining its 10 percent so-called baseline tariff on countries where the U.S. has a trade surplus — i.e. it sells more American products to those countries than it imports from them. And it officially imposes the 15 percent rate that Trump agreed to set as part of negotiations with leading trading partners like the European Union, Japan and South Korea. The Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia also reached tentative agreements with the administration that set their duties at 19-20 percent. Other countries, mainly smaller economies, face far higher rates, topping out at 41 percent for Syria, which is emerging from a civil war, and 40 percent for Myanmar, which is still in the midst of one. The Southeast Asian nation of Laos also faces a 40 percent tariff, and Iraq will be hit with a 35 percent duty. Bigger trading partners like Switzerland also face a significant tariff hike — to 39 percent. Trump also signed a second order raising tariffs on Canada, one of the country's biggest trading partners, from 25 to 35 percent for goods that are not compliant with an existing North American trade deal known as the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. The senior official told reporters that Canada hasn't 'shown the same level of constructiveness that we've seen from the Mexican side.' Trump announced earlier Thursday that he was maintaining the 25 percent tariff on Mexico for another 90 days after a phone call with their president, Claudia Sheinbaum. Higher tariffs on Canada take effect Friday. The executive actions suggests that Trump decided to punish countries that he did not believe offered enough concessions since the president first threatened to impose his 'reciprocal' tariffs on April 2. 'Some trading partners have agreed to, or are on the verge of agreeing to, meaningful trade and security commitments with the United States, thus signaling their sincere intentions to permanently remedy the trade barriers,' the global order says. 'Other trading partners, despite having engaged in negotiations, have offered terms that, in my judgment, do not sufficiently address imbalances in our trading relationship or have failed to align sufficiently with the United States on economic and national-security matters,' 'There are also some trading partners that have failed to engage in negotiations with the United States or to take adequate steps to align sufficiently with the United States on economic and national security matters,' it continues. White House officials said Thursday night that they expect to strike additional agreements with countries ahead of the new Aug. 7 implementation date for the tariffs. 'We have some deals, and I don't want to get ahead of the president on those deals,' the senior administration official told reporters. 'I'll just say generally, we have more to come.' Taiwan is hoping to be one of those countries. The semiconductor powerhouse faces a 20 percent tariff in a week's time, but in a statement released late Thursday, Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te suggested the rate was 'provisional.' 'Due to the procedural arrangement of the negotiations, the Taiwan-U.S. sides have not yet concluded the final meeting. Therefore, the U.S. has temporarily announced a 20% tariff rate for Taiwan,' President Lai said. 'Once an agreement is reached in the future, there is hope that the tariff rate can be further lowered. Both sides will also continue negotiations on supply chain cooperation and issues related to Section 232 tariffs.'

2 friends travel 1,400 miles on public transit from Mexico to Canada border
Two public transportation enthusiasts embarked on a courageous journey to travel from the Mexican border to Canada, using only local transit, including several buses and trains along the West Coast. Miles Taylor and Jackson Betz set out from San Ysidro, California, the southernmost point of the Golden State, armed with a detailed spreadsheet containing 50 rows of carefully planned connections. "Because it's possible," Taylor told ABC News when asked about the motivation behind the unconventional journey. For Taylor, the trip represented a natural extension of his long-standing passion for public transportation. He began blogging about transit systems at age 13, reviewing every bus route and train station in New York's transit system. Years later, his YouTube channel, @MilesinTransit, had garnered millions of views, showcasing his budget-conscious travel adventures. "I booked a ticket from New York to San Antonio for just $3," Betz told ABC News, highlighting the pair's commitment to cost-effective travel. The journey, which began on a Monday from Southern California, took the two college friends through Oregon, where they encountered both scenic vistas and unexpected challenges. "A lot of these buses have been jolting us out of our seats, but the scenery makes it all worthwhile," the duo told ABC News during their Oregon leg of the trip. Their meticulously planned schedule faced a significant disruption when an 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck off Russia's coast, triggering tsunami alerts along their route. "We checked into our motel, and then maybe 10 minutes later, the tsunami alarms went off and everything went haywire," Taylor told ABC News. The natural disaster forced the friends to adjust their timeline, pushing their expected arrival at the Canadian border from last Friday to Monday. For Taylor, the journey aligned perfectly with his content creation approach. "What I do on my channel is just the things I'd be doing for fun anyway," he told ABC News. The pair utilized various forms of public transportation throughout their journey, including light rail systems and regional bus services, demonstrating the possibilities of long-distance travel using only local transit options.
