Customs duties between 15% and 20% “most of the world”. Donald Trump said on Monday that the United States “would impose a customs rate for most of the world”, which would apply to countries that have not completed a commercial agreement with Washington, reports Reuters.
This basic global rate would be between 15% and 20%, said the US president, speaking from Scotland during a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
“This is what they will have to pay if they want to do business in the United States, because we cannot sit and conclude 200 agreements,” said the US president at the same time, according to the comments informed by the CNBC channel.
15% for Japan, 20% for Vietnam
Although the United States commercial partners must sign agreements with the Trump administration before the deadline of August 1, under the penalty of imposing high rates, many countries have not yet been successful. As is, products that enter the United States could taxes between 10% and 50%; The highest rate would go to Brazil, while Canadian and Mexican neighbors would have a respective 35% and 30% surcharge.
This “worldwide” expected rate between 15%and 20%would be comparable to recent agreements signed by Washington in recent days with some of its main commercial partners, including Japan (15%), Vietnam (20%) or Indonesia (19%). The European Union would be imposed to customs tasks of 15% in the vast majority of its exports to the United States.
