President Trump has told more than two dozen countries that they will face tariffs of at least 20 percent on Aug. 1 if they don’t reach agreements by then.
Tariff rates for select trade partners
Includes country-specific “reciprocal” tariffs
Sources: White House, Observatory of Economic Complexity
Note: Previously threatened rates refer to the “reciprocal” tariff rates that were originally imposed on April 1. Brazil, Canada and Mexico were not specifically targeted on April 1. Brazil was subject to a 10 percent global rate. Many goods from Canada and Mexico not covered by the North American trade agreement have been subject to a 25 percent tariff this year.

President Trump has informed roughly two dozen countries and the European Union that their exports will face tariffs of up to 50 percent starting in August unless they can broker new trade deals imminently with the United States.
The steep levies, communicated this week in letters to those nations’ leaders and posted on social media, marked a revival of Mr. Trump’s trade brinkmanship. The threats have targeted America’s largest trading partners as well as smaller countries with which the United States does relatively little trade.
The president delivered his latest missive on Saturday, when he said that imports on many goods from the European Union and Mexico would face 30 percent tariffs starting next month.
European officials had been hoping to negotiate an agreement with the United States over the past few months, and it remains unclear if the bloc intends to retaliate with tariffs of its own. Mr. Trump told European officials that he would raise U.S. rates if they raised theirs.
Mr. Trump’s threat to Mexico echoed his letter to Canada sent on Thursday. He said he would impose the duties out of a belief that both countries should do more to stem the flow of fentanyl across the U.S. border, but signaled that the United States could relax the tariff rate if Canadian and Mexican leaders took additional steps to combat the issue.
The newly threatened tariffs may not apply to all Mexican and Canadian products, some of which are governed by an existing trade agreement or subject to import taxes related to specific industries.
