Trump Order Pushes Tariffs Start Date To August 7—Here Are The New Rates
President Donald Trump pushed the start of the tariff dates from his self imposed August 1 deadline to August 7. Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
Trump's order outlines updated tariff rates for 67 countries, the European Union and Taiwan, ranging between 10% and 41%.
Countries not listed in the order will face a baseline tariff rate of 10%—which is in line with Trump's April 2 'Liberation Day' announcement.
The new order does not cover rates for China, which is still engaged in tariff negotiations with the U.S. government, and Mexico, which was given a 90-day extension on an earlier deal while trade talks with the U.S. continue.
It is unclear why the tariffs were pushed from August 1 to August 7, but this will likely heighten uncertainty for key trading partners, who now have an additional week to negotiate lower rates.
Syria, Laos and Myanmar will face the highest reciprocal tariff rates of 40 to 41% as per Thursday's order.
Canada is one of the countries not mentioned in Trump's reciprocal tariffs order. In a separate announcement, the White House said Canada will face a 35% tariff rate—up from an earlier 25%—for goods not covered under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Unlike other tariffs that are labeled as 'reciprocal' the White House claims the levies placed on Canada are in response to the flow of fentanyl and other illicit drugs across the northern border. The White House claims the levies on the northern neighbor have been raised because, 'Canada has failed to cooperate in curbing the ongoing flood of fentanyl and other illicit drugs, and it has retaliated against the United States for the President's actions.' In a statement responding to the higher tariffs, Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed disappointment and said: 'The United States has justified its most recent trade action on the basis of the cross-border flow of fentanyl, despite the fact that Canada accounts for only 1% of U.S. fentanyl imports and has been working intensively to further reduce these volumes.'

The revised tariffs have drawn mixed reactions from U.S. trading partners, with some leaders still holding out hopes for a better deal. Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister tweeted: 'The announcement of the 19% tariff rate reflects the strong friendship and close partnership between Thailand and the United States.' Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Manet wrote on Facebook the lowered 19% rate for his country was 'great news for the people and the economy of Cambodia to continue develop our nation.' Taiwanese president Lai Ching-te called the lowering of tariffs from 32% to 20% was a 'stage achievement' by Taiwan's negotiation team but added that 'from the very beginning, 20 percent has never been Taiwan's goal in the negotiations...The team will continue its efforts in the talks, and the U.S. government has expressed its willingness to continue the discussions.' Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said the 15% levy imposed on his country was a preliminary number and 'we are negotiating further.' Støre added 'I think there should be zero tariffs. That is the Norwegian principled view.' How Have Markets Reacted To Trump's Updated Tariffs?
U.S. futures were down sharply in premarket trading early on Friday, while key stock indexes across Asia and Europe were also hit.

Fact Check: Unraveling rumor Newsom bought this expensive house on $140K salary
Claim: A video authentically shows a house owned by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who receives an annual state government salary of $140,000. Rating: A rumor that circulated online in early August 2025 claimed a video showed an expensive house owned by California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Users sharing the video, and some commenters, also alleged Newsom received an annual salary of $140,000 — calling into question how his family might be able to purchase such a home. For example, on Aug. 5, an X user reposted a TikTok video showcasing the view from a vehicle driving past the in-question house, and misspelling Newsom's name as "Newsome." The post (archived), receiving over 1.4 million views, displayed a text caption reading, "Gavin Newsom's house. Not bad for a 140k a year salary." At least one TikTok user then reposted (archived) the video, including with a cutout text caption from the X post. Other users posted the clip on Facebook and X. While Newsom and his wife, documentary filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom, have purchased expensive homes, the in-question video did not show a house they owned, nor did the posts accurately show the governor's annual salary. Snopes contacted Newsom's press office by email and phone to ask if they wished to comment on the matter, and will update this story if we receive further information. Utah home and governor's salary A July 6, 2024, Instagram video (archived) showing the same home from the in-question clip featured a glimpse of a street sign for Deer Crest Lane in Alpine, Utah — far from Newsom's office in California's capital city of Sacramento. The user's video made no mention of Newsom or politics. Searches of Bing, DuckDuckGo, Google and Yahoo found no news media outlets ever reporting any news about Newsom buying a home in Utah. A reverse-address search for the property address on displayed two owners' names, including a man and a woman — neither of them named Newsom. listed the 4,653-square-foot home's estimated market value at over $2.56 million. One of the earliest posts — if not the first — from a user attempting to tie Newsom to the Alpine home appeared in a video (archived) on TikTok user @__thesmithfamily__'s account on July 29, 2024. The user then reposted (archived) the clip again on the same date in 2025, reviving the rumor in early August for further shares by users on several platforms. We sent a message to the user to ask questions about their false claim and will add any future responses to this story. The California Department of Human Resources website (archived) lists Newsom's current annual salary as $242,295, not $140,000. Newsom's houses and wealth In November 2024, the San Francisco Chronicle reported (archived) the Newsoms planned to split their time between a newly-purchased $9.1 million home in Marin County and their other house in Fair Oaks. According to The Sacramento Bee (archived), the Newsoms bought their Fair Oaks home, located in Sacramento County, in December 2018, for $3.7 million. As for the users who questioned how Newsom could purchase such expensive houses on his governor's salary, the Los Angeles Times reported (archived) in October 2018 the details of his past business ventures and investments, including making millions in the wine industry: For the last two decades, Gavin Newsom has been rising to the highest levels of California politics. At the same time, he also has become a multimillionaire businessman, with an upscale chain of wine stores, wineries, restaurants, nightclubs, hotels and retail shops stretching from the Bay Area and Napa Valley to Lake Tahoe and Palm Springs. He built some of those businesses with the Gettys, heirs to an oil fortune who have deep connections to the Democratic lieutenant governor's family. While Newsom has focused his campaign for governor on his progressive politics, he also has touted his success as an entrepreneur and jobs creator, citing the 23 businesses and 800 employees under the umbrella of his PlumpJack Group. For further reading, we previously investigated the true claim that Newsom dined with lobbyists at the posh French Laundry restaurant in Napa Valley in November 2020 — during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Trump wants more American pick-ups in Tokyo and London. That may be a hard sell
By David Dolan, Maki Shiraki and Marie Mannes TOKYO/STOCKHOLM, August 7 (Reuters) -Donald Trump is right that Japan and Europe buy few American-made cars - but it has little to do with trade barriers. From Tokyo to London, many consumers see Detroit's offerings as simply too big and too gas-guzzling. Switch Auto Insurance and Save Today! The Insurance Savings You Expect Affordable Auto Insurance, Customized for You Great Rates and Award-Winning Service That view has made Chevrolets and Cadillacs a hard sell, and a rare sight, in cities full of slimmer cars from the Toyota Corolla to Honda Civic, Volkswagen Golf and Renault Clio. Trump often complains about what he sees as a refusal to accept U.S. cars while the Japanese and Europeans sell millions of automobiles a year into the United States. In recent trade deals, both markets agreed to drop or ease safety tests on American vehicle imports. Europe will lower levies on U.S. cars. But it may take more than a change of rules and lower tariffs to convince Japanese and European consumers, who contend with narrow roads and painfully tight parking, to buy big American-made Ford F-150 trucks and Cadillac Escalade SUVs. "American cars are designed for wide roads and freeway driving, so handling them on narrow Japanese streets can be tricky. It takes a bit of technique," said Yumihito Yasue, president of Johnan Jeep Petit in Tokyo, which imports and services vintage cars from the United States. His customers tend to be enthusiasts in their 50s and 60s who grew up seeing American cars on TV and in movies. On a recent weekday, he was servicing two Chevrolets, a lustrous brown 1971 Nova and a low-slung 1986 El Camino, both with their steering wheels on the left. In Japan, steering is on the right. Yasue inherited his love of American cars from his father, who started the business four decades ago and would travel to California to scout for cars. Yasue took over after his father died nine years ago, and sells about 20 vehicles a year. "What makes American cars special is the design. Compared to Japanese or German cars, the body shape is more beautiful. Especially the lines, like the rear lines and the fenders," he said. Some 3.7 million new cars were sold in Japan last year, with a third of those mini or "kei" cars - tiny, fuel efficient vehicles not produced by American automakers. Overall, foreign cars accounted for 6% of new car sales, data from the Japanese Automobile Manufacturers Association showed. Of those, around 570 Chevys, 450 Cadillacs and 120 Dodges were sold, data from the Japan Automobile Importers Association showed. Ford pulled out of Japan almost a decade ago. Tesla makes cars sleeker than some of Detroit's and is becoming more popular. The data does not give a breakdown for the EV maker. 'WE DON'T BUY FORD F-150S' In Europe, smaller locally-made U.S. cars have done well: models like the best-selling Ford Puma and the older Fiesta. But over the past two decades, Ford and General Motors have pivoted towards larger pickups and SUVs, vehicles less suited to Europe's narrow streets and compact-car culture. Ford, a big player in Europe from the early 1900s, has seen sales in the region fall sharply, from 1.26 million vehicles in 2005 to just 426,000 in 2024, according to data from the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA). Its market share dropped from 8.3% to 3.3%. "We don't buy Ford F-150s, that's not what our roads are scaled for, it's not what our customers want," Andy Palmer, former CEO of Aston Martin, told Reuters. GM exited Europe in 2017, selling Opel after pulling back Chevrolet, but returned with its Cadillac Lyriq last year. It sold a mere 1,514 of the U.S.-made SUV, according to auto data firm Jato. A GM spokesperson said Cadillac was growing its all-electric lineup in Europe, and the vehicles had been well-received in the markets where they were launched. A Ford spokesperson said the firm exported "passion products" to Europe like the Bronco and Mustang, alongside locally-made models tailored for the market. Clive Sutton, a British car dealer in London who sells luxury American models, said his buyers were drawn to the rarity of vehicles like the giant Cadillac Escalade. But he admitted it was a challenge. "There are people that want that car because of its exclusivity and its perceived status," Sutton said. "But it's not the most easy car to find a parking space for, certainly in central London." COMPETITIVE MARKET Trump has also put pressure on South Korea to open its market to American cars and said duty-free access was part of the trade deal the two countries agreed last week. There, imported vehicles account for less than one-fifth of the car market and U.S. models for only 16% of the imported car segment, which is dominated by German rivals, according to data from the Korea Automobile Importers & Distributors Association. German manufacturers have also carved out a strong presence in Japan's luxury market. Mercedes-Benz sold more than 53,000 vehicles last year, making it the most popular foreign brand, followed by BMW at more than 35,000. Japanese automakers say Europeans have been successful because they committed the time and resources to the market. Detroit carmakers, meanwhile, are often associated with left-hand drive cars, which are more challenging to drive on the left-hand side of the road. But some U.S. manufacturers are changing. GM has offered the Corvette only in right-hand drive since the eighth generation version went on sale in 2021. That may be one reason why some 80% of buyers are new customers, a GM spokesperson said. The Corvette is the only model Chevy offers in Japan, and it has sold fewer than 1,000 of them a year for the last decade. GM this year announced plans for a line-up of right-hand-drive Cadillac EVs and deliveries of the Lyriq started in July. 'WOW, A FOREIGN CAR' Jeep, which sells right-hand drive models, has been the most popular American brand for more than a decade, the importer data showed. It sold just shy of 10,000 vehicles last year in Japan. Yukimi Nitta used to drive a "kei" car but she was drawn to the Jeep Wrangler's appearance, which she described as "friendly" and "outdoorsy". The 42-year-old hair salon owner is now on her second Jeep - a limited-edition beige model - and hopes to switch again to another limited-edition colour. Parking is tight but manageable, she said, and two of her friends have since bought Wranglers. "People often say, 'Wow, a foreign car!' But once you drive it, it feels totally normal. I wish more people would try it," she said. While the Wrangler does burn through fuel quickly, the resale value is good, making it possible to switch out colours, something owners do, Nitta said. A spokesperson for Jeep owner Stellantis said it actively promoted owner events. In July, it announced a collaboration with the "Jurassic World" movie series featuring a limited-edition pink Wrangler, the spokesperson said. Big American cars and trucks might find it hard to follow in Jeep's tracks. Daniel Cadwell, an American living in Tokyo, exports used Japanese camper vans and wagons to the United States. He said he was struck by the size of American cars whenever he went home. "They are just excessively big," said Cadwell, who runs Javan Imports in Portland with his U.S.-based business partner. "I think it is highly challenging for a car of that sort to be seen as attractive in Japan."

Dollar holds losses on US economy concerns, Fed appointments
By Rocky Swift TOKYO (Reuters) -The dollar remained lower against major peers on Thursday, as expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts grew and concerns swirled about partisanship creeping into key U.S. institutions. Initial jobless claims in the United States are under scrutiny after last week's disappointing nonfarm payrolls, which triggered a slide in the greenback. Meanwhile, the euro found support ahead of anticipated talks next week to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. Last week, President Donald Trump fired the official responsible for the labour data he did not like, and focus is centring on his nomination to fill a coming vacancy on the Fed's Board of Governors and candidates for the next chair of the central bank. "All those things suggest that we're seeing those political risks around the U.S. dollar increase, and on top of that you've got the weak data coming through," said Tony Sycamore, a market analyst at IG. Any progress in ending the war in Ukraine "is going to be a positive driver of the euro," he added. The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of major peers, edged up 0.1% to 98.259 in early trade in Asia, after a 0.6% slide in the previous session. The U.S. currency was little changed at 147.36 yen. The euro stood at $1.1654, down almost 0.1% after a 0.7% jump previously. The U.S. Labor Department is expected to report that initial claims for unemployment benefits likely rose by 3,000 to 221,000 for the week ended August 2. Continued jobless claims for the week that ended July 26 are expected to increase slightly. Data last Friday showed U.S. employment growth was weaker than expected in July while the nonfarm payrolls count for the prior two months was revised down considerably, suggesting a sharp deterioration in labour market conditions. Fed funds futures traders are now pricing in a 94% probability of a 25 basis point cut at the Fed's September meeting, up from 48% a week ago, according to the CME Group's FedWatch Tool. In total, traders see 60.5 basis points in cuts this year. Trump could meet Russian leader Vladimir Putin as soon as next week, a White House official said on Wednesday, as the U.S. kept up pressure on Moscow to end the war in Ukraine. The president said on Tuesday he would decide on a nominee to replace outgoing Fed Governor Adriana Kugler by the end of the week and had separately narrowed the possible replacements for Fed Chair Jerome Powell to a short list of four. Sterling was steady at $1.33505. The Australian dollar was little changed at $0.65. Bitcoin edged 0.1% lower to $115,038.79.
