Today is the day that many countries around the world have been preparing for. President Trump has laid out the remainder of his tariff plan, with most countries set to see their rates kick in next week on August 7th.

This was done through an adjustment of the tariffs laid out in March, on concerns of fentanyl smuggling into the United States. Items covered under USMCA will not be impacted.
Here is where we stand today: A number of countries already have deals in place, like the European Union, Japan, and the UK. Mexican President Gloria Sheinbaum was able to secure a 90-day pause after a phone call with President Trump this week. He calls their situation “different” from other nations and says those negotiations will be handled separately.
