WASHINGTON: The United States has slapped 19 % of import duty on goods from Pakistan, as President Donald Trump has pushed the global trade crackdown with standing duties, targeting dozens of countries before the deadline of Friday’s trade deal.

Pakistan is one of the 69 centers that are now facing more revenue, from 10 % to 41 %, under a new executive order aimed at the aim of Trump calls unfair trade ways to protect US economic and security interests.

New rates will apply in a week’s time.

The move is part of their extensive effort to eliminate global trade rules. Pakistan is now on a list of 69 countries whose goods will face new US revenue starting next week.

On Friday, Trump issued an executive order on the list of high rates of import duty, with a deadline of 12:01 AM EDT (0401 GMT). Some of these rates had reached deals, and some had no chance to talk to their administration.

The order states that the goods from all other countries, which are not listed in any supplement, will be subject to 10 % US tariff rate.

Trump’s ruling states that some trade partners, “despite being engaged in negotiations, have offered the terms that in my decision, not to resolve the imbalance in our trade relations, or have failed to align with the United States over economic and national security issues.”

Trump has issued a separate order for Canada, which increases fantasy -related revenue on Canadian goods, up to 25 % before 25 %, says Canada has “failed to cooperate” to prevent fantasy flow in the United States.

Trump’s Mexico is rapidly contradicting Mexico with a decision to get 90 days more than 90 days of revenue from 90 days of taxes to provide more time to negotiate a broader trade deal.

An American official told reporters that more trade deals were yet to be announced as Trump’s top “mutual” tariff rates were designed to be implemented.

“We have some deals, the official said.” “And I don’t want to go beyond the United States President to announce these deals.”

Regarding the revenue on goods from Canada, the second largest US trade partner after Mexico, officials said that Canadian officials did not show the same level of construction by Mexico that we saw from Mexico. “

Extension for Mexico mostly avoids tariffs on Mexico’s non-automotive and non-metal equipment, which is in line with the US-Mexico-Canada agreement on trade, and came after Thursday morning’s call between Trump and Mexico President Claudia Shenbam.

“We refrained from increasing tariffs announced yesterday, adding in an X -social media post,” he added, adding that the Trump call was “very good.”

According to the Mexican Ministry of Economy, about 85 % of US imports from Mexico comply with the principles described in the USMCA, and protects them from 25 % of fantasy related revenue.

Trump said the United States will install 25 % tariffs on Mexico Steel, Aluminum and Copper 50 % tariffs and Mexican autos and 25 % tariffs on the US -based non -USMCA subject to the US fantasy crisis.

“Moreover, Mexico has agreed to eliminate its non -tariff trade barriers,” Trump said on a social position without providing details.

Korea Dell, India Discard

South Korea on Wednesday agreed to accept 15 % tariffs on its exports to the United States, including autos, which has a 25 % reduction, including a pledge to invest $ 350 billion in US projects selected by Trump.

But after discussing access to India’s agriculture sector from India, 25 % of the revenue is being led by India, which poses an advanced risk by Trump, including an unconstitutional punishment for India’s Russian oil purchase.

Although dialogue with India is underway, New Delhi pledged to protect the fields full of laborers in the country, which reduced the grief and rupee by the opposition party.

On Friday, the rollout of Trump’s high import taxes comes between further evidence in which he has begun to raise consumer goods prices.

Domestic furnishings and sustainable domestic equipment prices increased by 1.3 % in June, which is the biggest benefit after March 2022, after a 0.6 % increase in May, according to the Department of Commerce, released on Thursday. After February 2024, entertainment and vehicles increased by 0.9 % after the change in May. The prices of clothing and shoes increased by 0.4 %.

The tough questions of the judges

Trump targeted Brazil by 50 % tariff on Wednesday when he increased his fight against Latin America’s largest economy for legal action against his friend and former president, Jerry Bolsonaro,, but with heavy taxes, leaving the fields like airplanes, energy and orange juice.

The run -up was starting till the deadline of Trump’s rates as the Federal Appeal Court judges have raised the question of the use of emergency powers to justify all of Trump’s all trade partners to justify their standing rates by up to 50 %.

Trump requested the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to declare an emergency on the growing US trade deficit and impose his “mutual” taxes and a separate fantasy emergency.

The International Trade Court ruled in May that their executive authority had been exceeded, and that the questions of the judges during the verbal arguments before the US Appeal Court for the Federal Circuit in Washington indicated further doubts.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Basant had previously said that the United States believes it has a trade deal with China, but it is “not 100 %”, and still needs Trump’s approval.

Basant said in an interview to CNBC that US negotiators “pushed back” substantially “during a two -day trade talks with the Chinese in Stockholm this week.

China is facing a deadline for August 12 to reach a sustainable tariff deal with the Trump administration in Beijing and Washington May and June, to reach the tight for tet tariffs and extraordinary land minerals cut off to reach the initial deals in May and June.
