Before the deadline, Trump purchased the “billions of dollars” that will be flowing to the United States, to a large extent from the countries that he said benefited from the United States.
“The only thing that can stop America’s greatness is the radical left court that wants to see our country fails!” Trump said on the social truth.
Eight major commercial partners representing about 40 % of trade flows in the United States have reached frameworks on trade and investment concessions with Trump, including the European Union, Japan and South Korea, reducing basic tariff rates to 15 %.
Britain won 10 %, while Vietnam, Indonesia, Pakistan and the Philippines won price cuts to 19 % or 20 %.
“For these countries, it is less bad news,” said William Rinsh, a senior colleague and commercial expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
“There will be some arrangement of the supply chain. There will be a new balance. The prices will rise here, but it will take some time to appear in a big way,” Rinsh said.
He added that the countries with highly punished duties, such as India and Canada, “will continue to scrambling about trying to reform this.”
Trump’s order determined that any goods designed to ship them from a third country to evade an American tariff will be subject to an additional 40 % import duty, but his administration issued a few details about how to define these goods or implement the ruling.

Financial markets largely ignored the new definitions, with stock markets in Asia in or near record levels or near the dollar a little decreased.
Revenue, high prices
Trump has described the extensive increase in federal revenue from his import tax groups, which companies ultimately pay by companies that import goods and consumers for final products.
