US tariff whiplash pushed toy factory in China to brink of collapse

Had the United States kept tariffs on Chinese imports at triple digits for just one more day last year, Huntar Company would have collapsed, said David Cheung, who runs the family-owned toy maker with his brother Jason. When Washington and Beijing reached a trade truce in Geneva on May 12 last year, rolling back the most-punishing levies, Huntar's production moulds were about to clear Chinese customs as the company made a last-ditchbid for survival by moving some production to Vietnam. The Che...

The IEEPA tariff ...

Tariff ruling limits Trump’s leverage but won’t end uncertainty for trade partners

The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to strike down a large swath of President Donald Trump's tariffs has weakened his ability to threaten and impose tariffs at a moment's notice, but it won't end gnawing uncertainty for trade partners or companies. Trump responded within hours to the ruling on Friday, slapping a new 10% tariff on all imports and ordering new trade investigations that could lead to additional levies in months, while insisting that trade and investment deals reached with nearly 20 ...

President Donald Trump said on Saturday he will raise a temporary tariff from 10% to 15% on U.S. imports from all countries, the maximum level allowed under the law, after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down his previous tariff program. The move came less than 24 hours after Trump announced a 10% across-the-board tariff on Friday after the court's decision.

Trump sets 10% hike in tariffs on Canada after ad airs during World Series

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday he was increasing tariffs on Canada by an additional 10% "above what they're paying now," as he reacted again to an ad by Canada's Ontario province, a day after it was aired during the World Series broadcast. Trump on Thursday ended trade talks with Ottawa over the tariff-related ad, which Trump said was misleading. Trump announced the higher tariffs in a Truth Social post on Saturday referencing the ad, which features a video of former President Ro...

Indian rupee strengthens against US dollar despite tariff concerns

The Indian rupee opened stronger on Monday, amid additional 25 per cent tariff proposed by US President Donald Trump on India, which is set to take effect from August 27. The rupee likely inched up higher on optimism that the Russia-Ukraine war will end following the upcoming US-Russia negotiations on August 15, leading to removal of additional tariffs on India. The local currency opened 13 paise stronger at 87.53 against the US dollar up from 87.66 on Friday. The immediate trading range is ex...

EU to suspend US tariff countermeasures for 6 months

The European Union will suspend its two packages of countermeasures to U.S. tariffs for six months following a deal with U.S. President Donald Trump, a Commission spokesperson said on Monday. The EU-U.S. agreement leaves many questions open, including tariff rates on spirits, and Trump's executive order last week setting tariffs on most EU goods at 15% did not include carve-outs such as for cars and car parts. EU officials have said they expect more executive orders to follow soon. "The EU co...

Trump demands more concessions as EU holds off on US tariff countermeasures

The European Union said on Sunday it would extend its suspension of countermeasures to U.S. tariffs until early August and continue to press for a negotiated settlement as U.S. President Donald Trump's administration demanded more concessions from trading partners. Trump said on Saturday he would impose a 30% tariff on most imports from the EU and Mexico from August 1, adding to similar warnings for other countries and leaving them less than three weeks to hammer out framework deals that could ...
