White House releases adjusted tariffs for some countries

DDM News

(DDM) – In a major policy adjustment, former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced sweeping changes to the international tariff rates unveiled during his April 2 “Liberation Day” declaration.

Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathered that the revised tariffs come just hours before a critical midnight deadline, where high levies were set to take effect across more than 60 countries and trade blocs.

Back in April, Trump shocked the global trade system by declaring a U.S. economic emergency.

He imposed a minimum 10% tariff on all countries and significantly higher rates on nations with large trade deficits with the U.S.

He described the move as necessary to restore fairness and protect American workers and industry.

However, in a last-minute shift, the White House has slashed many of the previously announced rates, with some countries seeing reductions of over 30%.

Analysts believe the changes were influenced by diplomatic negotiations and mounting global pressure over fears of economic retaliation.

Below is a list of countries whose tariffs have been adjusted:

1. Angola – Reduced from 32% to 15%

2. Bangladesh – Reduced from 37% to 20%

ing cautiously as Trump’s aggressive trade tactics continue to shape economic diplomacy worldwide.
