Donald Trump warned: 10% of customs tasks represent “a low figure,” said May 8 at a press conference that presents the agreement signed with the United Kingdom. This agreement resulted in customs taxes up to 10% in England products.
But that will not be the case for everyone. “Some will be much higher because they have huge commercial surpluses and that, in many cases, they have not treated us well,” Donald Trump told the White House.
“The best thing they can get is 10%”
And the European Union is in the viewfinder, according to the United States Commerce, Howard Lutnick.
He added that customs duties will be “probably higher” for countries that export more to the United States than the other way around, such as the European Union.
“If they really open their market [aux produits américains]Come and see that they want equitable and balanced exchanges with the United States, the best thing they can get is 10%, “he insisted.
Minister Lutnick also said that there was “a lot of work” in the negotiations with Japan, India, South Korea and the European Union, but that he was thinking of reaching an agreement with all in early July.
