The President of the United States Donald Trump announced that on Friday his administration would begin to send letters to countries indicating that it would be a tariff that Washington decided to establish unilaterally, adding that the bets will vary 10% to 70% And will enter into force on August 1.
In the press statements before applying to the Air Force One, the White House tenant explained that this procedure is less complicated than the initial idea of reaching bilateral agreements with various commercial partners.
“I am inclined to send a letter indicating what tariff they will pay. This is much easier. We have, you know, more than 170 countries, and how many agreements can be closed? Good agreements can be concluded, but they are much more complicated, ”he explained.
Subsequently, Trump said that from Friday letters will begin to go to several countries. “We will probably send 10 or 12” And in the next few days, in the face of July 9, when a 90 -day break at the entrance to mutual tariffs announced on April 2 expires: “They will be completely covered.”
In this sense, not wanting to go into details, the US President noted that the cost of tariffs “will vary from 60 or 70% to 10 or 20%,” adding that “they will begin to pay on August 1.”
