Trump says US to start sending out tariff letters
President Trump announces that the US will begin sending letters to countries detailing higher tariff rates starting on August 1. The import duties, ranging from 10% to 70%, will be imposed as negotiations deadline looms. The move is aimed at increasing government revenue and boosting demand for US-made goods, with potential impacts on countries such as the EU, Japan, and the UK.
