Washington is preparing to formalize an offensive turning point in its bilateral economic relations, a few days before the crucial maturity of July 9.
The trade partners of the United States will watch the window by the window in the coming hours. Donald Trump said he was considering sending letters to the US trade in the United States on Friday, July 4, July 4, of the taxation of punitive customs duties, while negotiations on the subject enter their final stretch. “I lean to send a letter to indicate the customs duties they will have to pay”he told the press on Thursday. “It’s much easier.”
“We are going to send letters, probably tomorrow”he said again. This declaration comes a few days before the return on July 9 of punitive, and differentiated customs duties, concerning dozens of countries, ranging from Taiwan to the European Union. In early April, the American president caused a shock wave by announcing a drastic increase in customs duties against the rest of the world: a minimum surcharge of 10%, which can go up to 50% for countries exporting more to the United States than they are important to American products.
