Here are the trade deals Trump has made ahead of Aug. 1 tariffs
Trump on April 2 announced 'reciprocal' tariffs on dozens of other countries, using trade deficits to help calculate the tariff rate. But a week later, he lowered those rates to 10 percent for three months as markets reacted negatively, allowing time for countries to negotiate.
As the 90-day window was nearing its end earlier this month, Trump sent letters to countries informing them of the new 'reciprocal' rate that, he said, would take effect Aug. 1.
The White House has managed to secure some significant trade deals since the president's unprecedented sweeping tariffs were first announced in the spring.
Trump on Sunday announced a trade deal with the European Union, setting tariffs at 15 percent for European goods, including automobiles — lower than the 30 percent rate Trump had threatened to impose on the EU next month.
The EU will purchase $750 billion worth of energy from the U.S. as part of the deal, Trump announced, and agreed to invest in the U.S. $600 billion more than the current investments for other goods.
Trump similarly reached a deal last week with Japan, setting a 15 percent tariff on Japanese goods — lower than lower the 25 percent tariff Trump had threatened to impose. Also in that deal, Trump said Japan would invest $550 billion in projects in the U.S. and would open its markets to U.S. automobiles, rice and other agricultural products.
The Philippines agreed to a trade deal with the United States that would lower U.S. tariffs on its exports to from 20 percent to 19 percent, Trump announced last week. Trump had originally set a 17 percent duty on imports from the Philippines in April before warning that figure would rise to 20 percent last month.
An agreement with Indonesia would also set a tariff rate of 19 percent on its imports.
Trump announced an agreement with the United Kingdom in early May, in what is considered the first major deal struck since the president announced his sweeping tariffs in April. That agreement set the tariff rate at 10 percent, down from 25 percent.
The U.K. is allowed to export 100,000 cars to the U.S. at a 10-percent tariff rate, as opposed to the 25-percent rate announced March 26, marking a win for the British car industry. Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer are expected to talk about the implementation of that deal when they meet Monday in Scotland.
The US and China announced in late May the contours of a deal to stave off a trade war between the two countries temporarily. The U.S. reduced its tariff rate from 145 percent to 30 percent, and China reduced its rate from 125 percent to 10 percent.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng are set to hold talks Monday for the third time this year, with The Associated Press reporting that China is expected to press for the U.S. to remove its 20 percent tariff related to fentanyl. Both countries have an additional 10 percent baseline tariff in place.
The White House sent dozens of letters this month informing countries of what they should expect their tariff rate to be, come Aug. 1.
Trump has insisted he would not further extend the tariff deadline, but Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Sunday that the president would be open to continuing discussions even after the tariffs are in place.
For countries that have yet to secure a deal with the U.S., here are the tariff rates set to take effect on Aug. 1:
Canada: 35 percent
Mexico: 30 percent
South Korea: 25 percent
South Africa: 30 percent
Kazakhstan: 25 percent
Laos: 40 percent
Malaysia: 25 percent
Myanmar: 40 percent
Tunisia: 25 percent
Bosnia and Herzegovina: 30 percent
Bangladesh: 35 percent
Serbia: 35 percent
Cambodia: 36 percent
Thailand: 36 percent
Libya: 30 percent
Iraq: 30 percent
Algeria: 30 percent
Moldova: 25 percent
Brunei: 25 percent
Sri Lanka: 30 percent
Brazil: 50 percent

BASF warns of weaker chemical demand amid US tariff effects
BERLIN (Reuters) -BASF said on Wednesday it expects demand for chemical products to grow less strongly than previously expected due to a deteriorating global economy. The volatility caused by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs policy and the general unpredictability of the U.S. government's decisions were fueling uncertainty and had an indirect effect on the German chemicals giant. "Thanks to our global strategy of serving customers through local production in their respective markets, the direct impact of the tariffs remains limited," said BASF while publishing its final second-quarter figures. "However, there are indirect effects, particularly associated with demand for our products and their prices." BASF had lowered its full-year outlook due to weaker-than-expected global economic growth and reduced demand for its chemicals due to U.S. tariffs earlier this month. In addition, margins remain under pressure due to continued high product availability on the market, added BASF. The United States and European Union agreed a trade deal on Sunday that would ensure there would be no tariffs from either side on certain chemicals, though it remains unclear which ones in particular would be exempt.

Euro hovers near one-month lows after trade deal, focus switches to Fed
The euro steadied near its lowest in a month on Wednesday, nursing steep losses this week as investors counted the cost of the U.S.-EU trade pact and looked ahead to policy meetings from the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan. U.S. and Chinese officials agreed to seek an extension of their 90-day tariff truce on Tuesday, following two days of what both sides described as constructive talks in Stockholm. No major breakthroughs were announced, and U.S. officials said it was up to President Donald Trump to decide whether to extend a truce that expires on August 12. The Sino-U.S. talks come after a framework deal between the U.S. and EU was announced on Sunday. The accord has evoked a mix of relief and concern from Europe, as the agreement was lopsided and skewed towards the United States. "Markets seem to be increasingly interpreting trade agreements as symbolic and tactical rather than structural resolution," said Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxo in Singapore. "With terms often vague and enforcement mechanisms weak, investors are assigning lower market beta to these negotiations unless backed by concrete detail." The euro was 0.12% higher at $1.1558 in early trading after dropping for the first two days of the week and hitting a one-month low of $1.15185 on Tuesday. The euro is up 11.7% since the start of the year but on course for its first monthly drop this year. The single currency has benefited this year from the dollar losing its luster due to Trump's erratic trade policies, prompting investors to look for alternatives. Sterling was at $1.3358 and the Australian dollar last bought $0.6517. The offshore yuan was little changed at 7.178 per U.S. dollar. The Japanese yen firmed a bit to 148.20 per dollar. That left the dollar index, which measures the U.S. currency against six others, at 98.815, hovering near a one-month high. The index is set to record its first month of gains this year. Investor focus will now switch to central bank meetings, with the Fed due to announce its policy decision later on Wednesday. The Fed is widely expected to stand pat, making comments from Chair Jerome Powell crucial to gauge the policy path. The policy decision comes in the wake of Trump's constant demands for rate cuts, which have coincided with an unrelenting campaign of attacks on Powell by the president and administration officials. There is speculation that Governor Christopher Waller and Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman could issue dissents if the Fed on Wednesday holds the policy rate steady for the fifth time since December. "While dissenting isn't uncommon, the dissents at this week's meeting may get more focus because Trump has made it crystal clear that he thinks the FOMC should be lowering interest rates," said Kristina Clifton, a senior economist at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia in Sydney. "Dissents at this meeting may be judged as political and put a dent in perceptions of the FOMC's independence." The BOJ is also expected to stand pat and the spotlight will be on comments from Governor Kazuo Ueda as investors hope the recent trade deal between Japan and the U.S. paves the way for the central bank to raise interest rates again this year.
