Trump Tariffs Countdown: Who Will Get a Deal Before July 9?
With US President Donald Trump’s July 9 tariff reimposition deadline fast approaching, countries worldwide are racing to secure last-minute trade deals.
The new tariffs, originally announced in April citing lack of “reciprocity”, start at 10% and could jump as high as 50% for nations with major trade deficits.
Nations like Vietnam, India, and Taiwan are negotiating “framework” agreements to avoid steep penalties, while others hope for a temporary pause.
However, countries like Japan and the EU face risk of tariff escalation due to unresolved disputes over agriculture and digital policies.
Analysts say this week will determine whether partners secure deals, delays — or pay the price.
