on Tariffs - note Thailand in the list

_____

Key elements and direct excerpts from Trump's tariff letters:

The letters, addressed to the leaders of 14 countries, were posted on Truth Social and outlined new tariff rates—ranging from 25% to 40%—that would take effect on August 1 if a new trade deal was not reached.

Trump warned that any retaliatory tariffs would be met with further increases:
"If for any reason you decide to raise your Tariffs, then, whatever the number you choose to raise them by, will be added onto the 25% that we charge," (as seen in the letters to Japan and South Korea).

The letters generally followed a standard template, with the only major difference being the specific tariff rate and country addressed.
Trump sometimes used the word “only” before the tariff rate, implying generosity:
"We are imposing only a 25% tariff..."

The letters included a willingness to negotiate:
"...I will perhaps, consider an adjustment to this letter if you open your markets to more U.S. goods and reduce tariff and non-tariff barriers."
The letters explicitly stated that tariffs on autos, steel, and aluminum would be handled separately, under existing or additional Section 232 tariffs.

Summary:
The letters were formal, addressed to heads of state, and included a deadline (August 1) to avoid the new tariffs by reaching a trade deal.

They warned against retaliation and offered the possibility of negotiation if the recipient country made concessions to open their market to U.S. goods.

The tone was aggressive but left room for further talks and adjustments.

Countries and rates mentioned:
Japan: 25%
South Korea: 25%
Myanmar: 40%
Laos: 40%
Cambodia: 36%
Thailand: 36%
Bangladesh: 35%
Serbia: 35%
Indonesia: 32%
South Africa: 30%
Bosnia and Herzegovina: 30%
Kazakhstan: 25%
Malaysia: 25%
Tunisia: 25%

Problem beeing that the US do not charge Japan or Corea but American importers. I would be interested to know how many of the obviously non-iformed US citizens realise this.

See what happens when the Epstein subject comes up.

The World is Watching

Back when I and others, were gleefully saying "Epstein didn't kill himself",  I had no way of knowing that MAGA would adopt said rumour and fledge it into a full blown conspiracy theory, with which, they are now hauling, senior Trumpanzees, over the coals.../.
