WASHINGTON: The United States on Thursday announced a clean set of new rates implemented within a week, targeting most commercial partners and introducing sector duties-including new levies on copper imports.

President Donald Trump unveiled the steps, including imports imports to Syria by more than 41 % and an increase in duties on Canadian goods, which has increased the current rate from 25 % to 35 %.

AFP has taken a look at recent predictions:

Pakistan

On Thursday, Pakistan welcomed a new trade agreement with the United States, which is its largest export destination, expressing confidence that the deal would increase foreign investment.

However, the White House has announced that under the new framework, 19 % tariffs will apply to Pakistani imports.

The agreement follows several rounds of talks that began in April, when US President Donald Trump initially threatened to threaten 29 % of its duties on Pakistani goods.

On Wednesday, Trump also said that Washington would cooperate with Islamabad to produce Pakistan’s “mass oil reserves”, though it did not provide any additional details.

Canada

Trump said Thursday that the United States would increase revenue on some Canadian goods from 25 % to 35 %.

Prime Minister Mark Karni warned about the trade results for Canada after announcing plans to recognize the Palestinian state in the UN General Assembly in September.

“Wow! Canada has just announced that it is supporting the state for Palestine,” Trump wrote on the truth on social.

“This will make it very difficult for us to make a trade deal with them.”

According to a White House fact sheet, unlike the new Levies collided with dozens of other economies, there is no delay and they begin on Friday.

The products included under the Mexico-Canada agreement in the United States of 2020-which cover widespread items-will be exempted from tariff rates.

Mexico

Trump said Thursday that he would delay in imposing more taxes on Mexico’s imports, and will overtake his rollout for 90 days.

The decision came after talking to Mexican President Claudia Shenbam.

The US leader had actually threatened that on August 1, the revenue on Mexico products would be increased from 25 % to 30 %, citing a lack of progress in the flow of illegal fantasy.

Under the current North America trade agreement, goods entering the United States were rescued.

South Korea

Just a few days before the tariff deadline, Washington and Seoul reached a 25 % duty agreement on South Korean equipment, instead reached the level to 15 %.

While announcing on Wednesday, Trump said the country also pledged to invest $ 350 billion and buy $ 100 billion worth of liquid natural gas (LNG) or other energy resources.

The level of matching at a 15 -RATE rate is scheduled for US contracts with Japan and the European Union.

The revenue on automobiles will also remain at 15 %, Seoul said.

Brazil

Trump’s actions against Brazil are open political, which have long been under trade relations.

They announced 50 % of the revenue on Brazilian goods, though their implementation from August 1 to August 6 is delayed and exempt from products such as orange juice and civilian aircraft.

The prices indicated Trump’s pursuit of threats to use US economic power to punish Brazil-and Supreme Court Justice Alexander D. Morris.

India

Trump said on Wednesday that Indian goods will face 25 % of the US tariff starting on August 1st, which is slightly below the previously threatening level.

Trump said on social media that New Delhi’s Russian weapons and energy procurement will also face the country’s “fines”.

In a separate post, Trump added, “I don’t care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies together, which I care about.”

European Union

EU exports to the United States face 15 % prices on most products when both sides attacked the contract to avoid a 30 % high level.

European Commission President Ursola Van Dare Leene said some agricultural products would be exempted under the agreement on Sunday, though it did not explain it.

But French President Emmanuel Macron promised to “strong” in the follow -up talks.

“This is not the end of it,” Macron told the ministers during the cabinet meeting.
