U.S. President Donald Trump has released a new round of tariff letters targeting 12 countries, warning of sharp trade penalties set to take effect from 1 August.

Trump also reiterated that all goods imported from Japan and South Korea will face an additional 25% duty—separate from existing sector-specific tariffs—starting on 1 August.
