Japan calls Trump’s latest tariff salvo ‘regrettable’

Опис:

President Donald Trump’s recent letters announcing steep new U.S. tariffs on imports from over a dozen countries, including allies, have prompted “shock” and “regret” abroad while leaving room for further negotiations. Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, and South Africa all expressed disappointment at the new tariffs—ranging from 20% to 36%—but signaled they would continue talks with the U.S. to try to reduce them before the August 1 deadline. Trump shared the letters on social media, suggesting rates could be adjusted depending on ongoing negotiations, CNBC has reported.
