Trump tariffs live updates: Trump says he will be 'substantially raising' India tariffs over Russia oil buys

Yahoo

16 hours ago

President Trump on Monday said he would be "substantially raising" tariffs on India as he presses the nation over its purchases of Russian oil, effectively accusing the nation of subsidizing Russia's war in Ukraine.
"India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits," Trump alleged on Truth Social. "They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine."
Trump has trained his ire on both India and China over its purchases of Russian oil. China called the demand a key hurdle in trade talks, while India hasn't committed to stopping purchases and is urging citizens to support local goods.
India is facing 25% tariffs on its exports to the US under plans Trump moved into action last week.
Trump 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 as Trump looks set to dramatically change the US trade landscape. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said that the latest round of tariffs are "pretty much set" and unlikely to change.
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 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.

Swiss gold trading takes spotlight in trade talks with Trump
President Trump's tariffs on Switzerland were prompted by the country being the world's largest hub for gold refining. Gold flows in from places like South America, Africa and gets processed in Switzerland and then exported to countries like the US. This gold trade makes Switzerland's exports to the US look large and the refiners don't get to keep most of the profits.

Swatch CEO calls on Swiss president to meet Trump to solve tariff dispute
Swiss stocks took a hit on Monday as the market reopened after a holiday. Worries about the impact of President Trump's 39% export tariffs and a push for drugmakers to lower prices have caused tension in the market.
In addition, Swatch Group (UHRN.SW) Chief Executive Nick Hayek called on Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter to meet President Trump in Washington to negotiate a better deal than the 39% tariffs announced on Swiss imports into the United States.
Hayek told Reuters on Monday he was confident an agreement could still be reached before the tariffs, which were announced on Friday, went into effect on Aug. 7.

Trump presses India, China to halt Russian oil buys as trade talks roll on
The US and China are making progress on a trade deal, but a major sticking point remains: Washington wants Beijing to stop buying oil from Iran and Russia. China has pushed back, saying it will secure energy based on its own national interests.
'China will always ensure its energy supply in ways that serve our national interests,' China's Foreign Ministry posted on X on Wednesday following two days of trade negotiations in Stockholm, responding to the U.S. threat of a 100% tariff.
'Coercion and pressuring will not achieve anything. China will firmly defend its sovereignty, security and development interests," the ministry said.
In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has rejected pressure from President Trump, encouraging people to buy local goods. India has not told its oil refiners to stop purchasing Russian oil, and those decisions remain up to each company.
'The world economy is going through many apprehensions — there is an atmosphere of instability,' Modi said at a rally in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh on Saturday. 'Now, whatever we buy, there should be only one scale: we will buy those things which have been made by the sweat of an Indian.'

Trump tariff policy leaves some partners losers but few winners
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's tariff onslaught left a lot of losers — from small, poor countries like Laos and Algeria to wealthy U.S. trading partners like Canada and Switzerland. They're now facing especially hefty taxes – tariffs – on the products they export to the United States starting Aug. 7.
The closest thing to winners may be the countries that caved to Trump's demands — and avoided even more pain. But it's unclear whether anyone will be able to claim victory in the long run — even the United States, the intended beneficiary of Trump's protectionist policies.
'In many respects, everybody's a loser here,'' said Barry Appleton, co-director of the Center for International Law at the New York Law School.
Barely six months after he returned to the White House, Trump has demolished the old global economic order. Gone is one built on agreed-upon rules. In its place is a system in which Trump himself sets the rules, using America's enormous economic power to punish countries that won't agree to one-sided trade deals and extracting huge concessions from the ones that do.

Switzerland business minister says it could revise tariffs offer
ZURICH (Reuters) -The Swiss government is open to revising its offer to the United States in response to planned heavy tariffs, Business Minister Guy Parmelin said, as experts warned the 39% import duties announced by President Donald Trump could trigger a recession in Switzerland.
Switzerland was left stunned on Friday after Trump hit the country with one of the highest tariffs in his global trade reset, with industry associations warning of tens of thousands of jobs being put at risk.
The country's cabinet will hold a special meeting on Monday to discuss its next steps, with Parmelin telling broadcaster RTS that the government would move quickly before the U.S. tariffs are imposed on August 7.
"We need to fully understand what happened, why the U.S. president made this decision. Once we have that on the table, we can decide how to proceed," Parmelin said.

Greer: Latest tariffs 'pretty much set' and unlikely to change
(Reuters) -The tariffs U.S. President Donald Trump imposed last week on scores of countries are likely to stay in place rather than be cut as part of continuing negotiations, Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said on Sunday.
Ahead of a Friday deadline, Trump set rates including a 35% duty on many goods from Canada, 50% for Brazil, 25% for India, 20% for Taiwan and 39% for Switzerland, according to a presidential executive order.
In trade talks since Trump returned to office, the White House has lowered some rates from levels initially announced, including halving import duties set last week as part of a deal with the European Union.
Greer told CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday, however, that this would not be the case on the most recent round of tariffs.
"A lot of these are set rates pursuant to deals. Some of these deals are announced, some are not, others depend on the level of the trade deficit or surplus we may have with the country," he said. "These tariff rates are pretty much set."

Trump introduces tiers for trade partners in latest approach to tariffs
President Trump is moving forward on a new suite of tariff rates with an approach increasingly focused on grouping countries into tiers, as opposed to a previous approach of simply looking at the trade balance.
The new approach remains heavily influenced by either a trade surplus or a deficit but has grown more complex — some might say more subjective — leading to some consolidation in rate levels and the lowering of rates for many countries to a key new standard of 15%.
The new landscape was reflected in Thursday night's executive action announcing rates, which centered around the 15% rate set to be in place next week in about 40 countries.
Countries facing that rate include major trading partners that recently struck deals, such as Europe and Japan, as well as smaller nations, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.
More than 100 countries were excluded altogether from this week's announcement, meaning their rate will stay at 10%.
Meanwhile, a third group of about 30 countries will see higher rates ranging from 18% to 50%.
Trump and his team are taking an approach that could simplify future negotiations and be more in line with global trade dynamics.

Trump's 40% penalty for tariff dodging missing key details
President Trump's tariff surprises are far from over. 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. But countries still do not have all the details.

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.

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.
