Washington: US President Donald Trump has announced a new wave of abrupt import duties, aiming for dozens of countries – including Pakistan with 19% reciprocal invoices, before Friday’s trade agreement.

The move is part of his wider effort to shake worldwide commercial rules. Pakistan is now involved in a list of 69 nations whose goods will face new US invoices, ranging from 10% to 41%, starting next week.

Trump said the new invoices are intended to correct what it considers as unfair imbalances of trade and protect the finances and interests of finances and security.

Trump has published an executive order that lists higher import rates from 10% to 41%, starting at seven days for 69 commercial partners as the 12:01 am Edt deadline (0401 GMT). Some of them had reached the tariff reduction agreements, and some had no opportunity to negotiate with his administration.

The mandate stated that goods from all other countries that are not imported into annex would be subject to a 10% duty percentage of the US.

Trump’s order said that some commercial partners, “despite being involved in negotiations, offered terms that, at my discretion, do not adequately deal with the imbalances in our relationship or failed to adequately align the United States in terms of economic and security.”

Trump issued a separate order for Canada, which raises the interest rate on Canadian goods subject to fentanyl -related invoices to 35% from 25% previously, saying that Canada “failed to work together” to limit the flow of fentanyl in the US.

The highest invoices for Canadian goods contradict Trump’s decision to grant Mexico a 90 -day secondment from higher 30% invoices to many goods to provide more time to negotiate a wider commercial pact.

One US official told reporters that more trade agreements had not yet been announced as a higher “mutual” Trump pricing rates, came into force.

“We have some agreements,” the official said. “And I do not want to move on to the President of the United States for the announcement of these agreements.”

Concerning the sharp invoices for goods from Canada, the second largest US partner after Mexico, the official said the Canadian officials “have not shown the same level of efficiency we have seen from the Mexican side”.

Mexico’s expansion avoids a 30% invoice to most Mexican non-self-restraining and non-metal goods complying with the US-Mexico-Canada agreement and came after a call on Thursday morning between Trump and Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum.

“We avoided increasing the duties announced for tomorrow,” Sheinbaum wrote in a social media publication, adding that Trump’s call was “very good”.

About 85% of US imports from Mexico comply with the rules of origin described in the USMCA, protecting them from 25% fentanyl tariffs, according to the Mexican finance ministry.

Trump said the US would continue to impose a 50% invoice for Mexican steel, aluminum and copper and a 25% invoice for Mexican cars and non -USMCA -based USMCA products.

“In addition, Mexico agreed to finish immediately its non -tariff barriers, of which there were many,” Trump said in a social position of truth without providing details.

Deal Corea, India Discord

South Korea agreed on Wednesday to receive a 15% invoice to its exports to the US, including cars, from a 25% threatened, as part of an agreement that includes the promise to invest $ 350 billion in US projects selected by Trump.

However, the goods from India seemed to be heading for a 25%invoice, as talks held access to India’s agriculture, drawing a higher interest rate threat than Trump, which also included an indefinable penalty for Russian oil markets.

Although negotiations with India continued, New Delhi pledged to protect the country’s agricultural sector, causing anger from the opposition party and a fall in Rupia.

Increasing the higher import taxes on Friday by Trump comes amid more evidence that has begun to increase consumer goods prices.

Data from the Department of Commerce released on Thursday showed that home furniture prices and durable home equipment increased by 1.3% in June, the highest gain since March 2022, after an increase of 0.6% in May. Prices for recreational goods and vehicles increased by 0.9%, most from February 2024, after the unchanged May. Prices for clothes and footwear increased by 0.4%.

Difficult questions by judges

Trump hit Brazil on Wednesday with a sharp 50% invoice as he escalated his fight with Latin America’s largest economy to prosecute his friend and former President Jair Bolsonaro, but softens the blow by excluding areas such as aircraft and aircraft.

The deadline for Trump’s duties is unfolding, as the federal appeal judge abruptly disputes the use of Trump by a law on emergency to justify its abrupt invoices of up to 50% on almost all commercial partners.

Trump cited the International Law on the 1977 financial forces to declare an emergency on the growing US trade deficit and to impose its “mutual” invoices and a distinct emergency fentanyl.

International trade decided in May that actions overcome its executive authority and questions from judges during oral arguments before the US Court of Appeal for the federal circuit in Washington reported further skepticism.

US Finance Minister Scott Bessent said earlier that the United States believes it has things a trade agreement with China, but is not “100%” and still needs Trump’s approval.

US negotiators “pushed quite a bit” over two days of trade talks with the Chinese in Stockholm this week, Bessent said in an interview with CNBC.

China is facing a deadline of August 12 to reach a resistant invoice agreement with Trump’s administration, as Beijing and Washington have reached preliminary agreements in May and June to terminate Tit-for-Tat invoices and a cut-off.
