President Trump announced steep new tariffs on seven more countries starting 1 August, intensifying his push for what he calls "fair trade" amid rising global tensions.
U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed on Wednesday that tariffs ranging from 20% to 30% will be imposed on goods from seven additional countries—Algeria, Sri Lanka, Brunei, Iraq, Libya, Moldova, and the Philippines—starting 1 August.
According to letters shared on Truth Social, the Philippines will face 20% tariffs, Brunei and Moldova 25%, and Iraq, Algeria, Sri Lanka and Libya 30%.
Trump emphasized that these measures are aimed at correcting long-standing trade imbalances and warned that any retaliation would prompt even higher U.S. tariffs.
