U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday announced that the United States will impose a 25% tariff on goods imported from Kazakhstan, starting on 1st August. The letter addressed to Kazakhstan's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev was published on the Truth Social platform.
"Our relationship has been, unfortunately, far from reciprocal. Starting on August 1, 2025, we will charge Kazakhstan a tariff of only 25%, on any and all Kazakh products sent to the United States, separate from all sectoral tariffs," the letter reads.
In his letter, President Trump warned that if Kazakhstan decides to raise tariffs, then, 'whatever the number you choose to raise them by, will be added onto the 25% that we charge.'
However, no tariff will be imposed if Kazakhstan or Kazakh companies intend to manufacture products within the United States.
"Please undestand that these Tariffs are necessary to correct the many years of Kazakhstan's Tariff and Non Tariff, Policies and Trade Barriers, causing these unsustainable Trade Deficits against the United States. The Deficit is a major threat to our Economy and, indeed, our National Security!," U.S. President stressed in the letter.
At the same time, he added that these tariffs may be 'modified, upward or downward,' depending on Kazakhstan's 'wish to open your heretofore closed Trading Markets to the United States' and eliminate tariffs and trade barries.
