Trump tariffs live updates: Trump says pharma tariffs could go to 250%, threatens EU if it fails on investment pledge
President Trump on Tuesday said he would announce tariffs on semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports "within the next week or so," as he prepares to add more sectoral duties to his mix of tariffs. "We'll be putting a initially small tariff on pharmaceuticals, but in one year — one and a half years, maximum — it's going to go to 150%. And then it's going to go to 250%, because we want pharmaceuticals made in our country," Trump said during a CNBC interview. Trump also threatened the European Union with increased tariffs if it failed to live up to a pledge to invest some $600 billion in the US. Meanwhile, the world is awaiting Trump's country-specific duties and jockeying ahead of their implementation. India has called out Trump after he threatened to "substantially raise" tariffs on Indian exports over its Russian oil purchases, slamming the move as unjustified. India said it would protect its interest and accused the US of a double standard on trade with Russia. Trump has signed an order to hike tariffs on Canada to 35%, while setting rates from 10% to 40% on dozens of partners. Those duties are set to come into full effect this week. Yahoo Finance's Ben Werschkul has more details on the latest orders. 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. The US agreed to a trade deal with 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. 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 nations are still working on finalizing many terms of the deal.

Santa Cruz author honors her family's rescue from Japan & the U.S. Marines who saved them in heartfelt, fun, history-rich evening SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On the 80th Anniversary of VJ Day, local author, Laura Elliott, invites the community to a moving celebration of joy, resilience, and remembrance, centered around the launch of her just-released debut memoir, Dear Laura: A Lost Chapter of WWII, an Amazon #1 New Release & bestseller available here The event takes place Friday, August 15, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the Seymour Marine Discovery Center and is free and open to all ages. Elliott's deeply personal epistolary memoir is about her dad's experience as a Japanese POW in WWII during the Japanese Occupation of Indonesia, and how her family was taken hostage to force her radio engineer grandfather to work on a top-secret project for the Japanese military. It also profiles their miraculous rescue by the U.S. Marines off a beach in Hamamatsu, Japan, on August 15, 1945. Told through a decades-long heartfelt letter exchange between Elliott and her dad, written across oceans and generations, she unravels the mystery of Dear Laura on the world stage through the lens of faith and courage. The story is a testament to the lifelong adventure of understanding our loved ones and a powerful reminder that sometimes the most incredible stories are buried closest to home.
