WASHINGTON, August 1. US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order imposing tariffs ranging from 15 % to 41 % on the European Union and more than 60 other countries.
The document was released by the White House. The duties will come into force on 7 August. Countries expected to face the highest duties include Iraq (35 %), Serbia (35 %), Switzerland (39 %), Laos (40 %), Myanmar (40 %) and Syria (41 %). In addition to the countries, the list also includes the Falkland Islands, on which the US is imposing a 101 % duty, and Taiwan (20 %).
According to the order, goods from countries not listed in the document "will be subject to an additional ad valorem duty of 10 %". Trump also signed a separate executive order increasing duties on Canada from 25 % to 35 %, which were imposed because the country had not taken sufficient measures to combat fentanyl smuggling into the US.
