US tariffs to kick in from August 1 as Trump says America nears trade deals
The United States is close to finalizing several trade agreements with its trading partners in the coming days, and they would inform other countries of higher tariff rates by July 9 while the higher tariff rates are scheduled to take effect on August 1, President Donald Trump said on Sunday, Reuters reported. The Trump administration officials had flagged the August 1 date earlier for the higher tariffs to take effect but it wasn't confirmed if all the tariffs were scheduled to increase from that date. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who was asked to clarify the dates, said increased tariffs would come into effect on August 1, but Trump was 'setting the rates and the deals right now.' In April, Trump had announced a base tariff of 10% on most of America's trading partners and thereafter additional duties ranging up to 50%. However, due to a global financial commotion over the newly announced tariffs, the US president had later delayed the effective date for all but 10% until July 9. The new date of August 1 for higher tariffs to take effect offers countries a three-week reprieve. Trump earlier said that he has signed 12 letters to be sent out likely on Monday. He has repeatedly said that he plans to inform countries of a hike in US tariff rates by sending them letters. Trump, aboard Air Force One on July 4, had said sending notices would be much easier than 'sitting down and working 15 different things…this is what you have to pay, if you want to do business with the United States.' The United States has till now announced trade deals with the United Kingdom, Vietnam and the Trump administration has agreed to temporarily lower high tariffs on Chinese products and vice-versa. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNN, 'President Trump's going to be sending letters to some of our trading partners saying that if you don't move things along, then on August 1 you will boomerang back to your April 2 tariff level. So I think we're going to see a lot of deals very quickly.'

'Going to be sending letters': Trump pushes last-minute trade deals; confirms some already 'made'
Donald Trump US President Donald Trump on Sunday spoke about the much-discussed upcoming trade deals between the United States and other countries, including India. He said that letters related to these trade agreements will start going out from Monday. "We are going to be sending letters out on Monday having to do with the trade deals... It could be as many as 15 or so. They will be going out on Monday and some will go out on Tuesday and Wednesday and we have made deals also. So, we are going to have a combination of letters and some deals have been made," Trump said. These comments come just before the July 9 deadline, which marks the end of a 90-day suspension on Trump-era tariffs. After this date, a 26% additional import duty is expected to apply to goods from countries like India entering the US. The Trump administration is increasing pressure on trade partners to quickly reach agreements before Wednesday. From Monday, the US plans to send official letters warning that higher tariffs could begin from August 1. Trump added, "We'll have most countries done by July 9 — either a letter or a deal." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, standing beside Trump, told reporters, "The president is right in the midst of discussing all sorts of deals with all sorts of countries."

India and US edge closer to mini trade deal: Key sectors excluded
India and the US are nearing a mini trade deal with politically and economically sensitive sectors of dairy and agriculture likely to be excluded from the pact, officials said. 'The deal is in its conclusion phase,' said an official. 'Most issues related to agri may be discussed later. As of now, they seem to be out of the ambit of this phase of the deal,' the official said, adding that the agreement could be announced in the next two days. The interim deal would only cover trade in goods, a second official said. The official noted that the two sides could also look to finalise multiple agreements as and when the issues get resolved. Both sides have been in intense negotiations to reach a deal before the US government's 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs ends on July 9. India is seeking greater access to the American market for labour-intensive industries such as textiles and electronics. The US, meanwhile, wants to be able to sell genetically modified (GM) crops and cattle feed to India, a sensitive issue for New Delhi. These segments are difficult and challenging areas for India as local farmers are mostly into sustenance farming and have small land holdings. Washington, however, is not willing to lower tariffs below the baseline 10%. In April, US President Donald Trump announced reciprocal tariffs for most of America's trading partners based on their trade surpluses with the US, which included a 26% levy on India. New Delhi wants the entire 26% tariff to be rolled back while the US is pushing for market access across sectors, including agriulture and dairy products, and insistence on exporting GM crops to India. Last week, Trump said his administration would send letters to individual countries which do not reach a deal with the US by the July 9 deadline, specifying the tariffs they would have to pay for exporting to America. If the talks fall through or the July 9 deadline is not extended, the tariffs will come to the April 2 level of 26% in the case of India.
