Trump tariffs live updates: Buffett's Berkshire portfolio takes tariffs hit; Trump outlines sweeping new tariffs for dozens of trade partners
It seems even the Oracle of Omaha isn't immune to the impact of President Trump's trade war. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway said on Saturday that its consumer goods businesses took a hit from US tariffs, Reuters reported. Its consumer products group, which includes Fruit of the Loom and Brooks Sports, saw a 5.1% year-over-year revenue decline in the second quarter. Berkshire blamed the tariffs for delays in orders and shipments. In May, during Berkshire's annual meeting, Buffett strongly defended free trade. He said tarffs should not be used as a "weapon" adding "balanced trade is good for the world." Meanwhile, President Trump outlined tariff rates on dozens of trade partners, taking a step toward further reshaping the US trade landscape. Trump signed an order to hike tariffs on Canada to 35%, while he kept a baseline minimum rate of 10% across all partners. The tariffs on Canada go into effect Friday, while many of the other "reciprocal" rates take effect Aug. 7. Global stocks fell Friday as Trump's imposed tariffs on dozens of countries, advancing his effort to reshape global trade. Yahoo Finance's Ben Werschkul has more details on the latest orders here. You can see the new rates Trump is set to levy in the graphic below: In the past several days, Trump has unleashed a flurry of deals and trade moves leading up to his self-imposed deadline: Trump granted Mexico, the US's largest trading partner, a 90-day reprieve on higher tariffs, saying he would extend the country's current tariff rates to allow for more time for negotiations. The US agreed to a trade deal South Korea. The agreement includes a 15% tariff rate on imports from the country, while the US will not be charged a tariff on its exports, Trump said. Trump imposed 50% tariffs on semi-finished copper products starting Aug. 1, but he stopped short of applying the duties to copper scrap and input materials, sending copper (HG=F) futures plunging throughout the week. The president signed an order to end the de minimis exemption on low-value imports under $800, thereby applying tariffs from Aug. 29. Trump signed another order to impose a total of 50% tariffs on many goods from Brazil. However, it exempts key US imports like orange juice and aircraft parts that benefit Embraer (ERJ). The US and EU agreed to a trade deal that imposes 15% tariffs on EU goods. The two sides still need to iron out several key issues. Meanwhile, the US and China completed a third round of trade talks this week, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Thursday that they have "the makings of a trade deal." The countries face an Aug. 12 deadline to extend a pause on sky-high tariffs.

The US president has threatened to slap an extra 40% tariff on any product that Washington determines to be transshipped via another country. Its believed that this may be punishment, aimed at stopping goods mainly from China dodging US duties. The penalty for transshipping, which is when goods are moved from one type of transport to another, while on the way to where they're going, was included within the White house announcement on Thursday.

Trump unleashes massive tariffs on Swiss watches, pharma firms Switzerland's exporters are bracing for financial fallout from President Trump's 39% tariffs, one of the steepest rates globally in his escalating trade war. From watch makers to pharmaceutical companies the knock on effect of Trump's new tariffs will be felt. The new tariffs on Switzerland are part of a broader package announced by Trump on Thursday. But Swiss manufacturers warned on Friday that tens of thousands of jobs are at risk due to Trump's tariff hit. Trump's 39% tariffs on Swiss exports do exclude the country's drug sector, but pharmaceutical companies Novartis AG (NVS) and Roche Holding (RHHBY) were one of the 17 global pharma firms to receive a letter from Trump demanding lower prices. "It's a massive shock for the export industry and for the whole country. We are really stunned," said Jean-Philippe Kohl, deputy director of Swissmem, representing the mechanical and electrical engineering industries. Bloomberg News reports: Read more here. Trump unleashes delayed shock for global economy Four months after Donald Trump rattled markets by revealing steep tariff plans, his latest update has drawn a quieter response from investors. Still, average tariffs now sit at 15% - some of the highest since the 1930s - with rates rising further for countries that run trade surpluses with the US. So far, the global economy has absorbed the impact better than expected, but with the new tariffs kicking in that resilience may be tested. Bloomberg News reports: Read more here.

Trump hikes tariffs on Canada to 35%, outlines sweeping new duties on dozens of trade partners The White House took a step forward with President Trump's plan to remake the trade landscape by releasing new details Thursday evening that included a raft of new tariff rates now formally authorized by executive order, which set new levels from 15% to 40% on over 70 countries. The move represents a giant shakeup in the US's trade order, with outlined rates that range from a 35% tariff on Canada (up from 25%) to rates above 30% on nations from Algeria to Switzerland. But there's a last minute catch, as these new rates will not go into effect for seven days, instead of a midnight Friday deadline as originally planned — according to the text of the order. India, after initial high hopes for a deal that have bogged down in recent weeks, is set to face a 25% rate but now appears to have another week to negotiate. Taiwan is another top US trading partner and is set to see a 20% rate. The White House documentation released Thursday also confirmed some of the parameters of recent deals including 19%-20% rates on a range of Southeast Asian nations and an unchanged 10% rate on the United Kingdom. Dozens of other nations also saw their tariff rates upped to 15% from 10% — in line with deals sketched out in recent days that included that headline 15% tariff rate on Europe, South Korea, and Japan. But some nations were not included in Tuesday's release — those omitted included many nations with which the US currently has a trade surplus — who therefore are set to see their rates remain at 10%, in a surprise relief for some after comments from Trump in recent days suggested 15% would be his new minimum.

Mexico was facing tariffs of up to 35% on certain goods beginning on Friday. The reprieve came after Trump talked with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.
