“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.
This declaration comes a few days before the return on July 9, 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.
The president then suspended these customs taxes, leaving the way for commercial negotiations with each of the partners.
US officials have said that a series of trade agreements could be announced in the coming days.
For the time being, the administration of Donald Trump has only revealed agreements with the United Kingdom and Vietnam, while Washington and Beijing have agreed to temporarily reduce their reciprocal taxes.
As July 9 approaches, Donald Trump repeatedly repeated his intention to inform the countries of American customs tariffs by letter.
