President Trump is pushing through with his tariff agenda, unveiling a new batch of letters to country leaders outlining tariffs on goods imported from their countries beginning in August and a warning to BRICS nations.

Trump announced a 35% tariff on Canadian goods late Thursday on Truth Social, claiming Canada had "financially retaliated" to earlier duties. He warned any countermeasures would be added to the tariff set for Aug. 1.
Trump did not indicate whether a current tariff exclusion for USMCA-compliant goods would continue to apply post-August.

In an interview with NBC News published late Thursday, Trump also floated 15% to 20% blanket tariffs on most trading partners, higher than the 10% level currently in effect.

The fresh tariff salvos capped a week in which Trump sent a barrage of tariff letters to over 20 trade partners, setting levels of 20% to 40% — except for a 50% levy on goods from Brazil in a move that waded into the country's domestic politics. Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has insisted that Brazil can survive without trade with the US and will look for other partners to replace it.
Elsewhere, China warned Trump on Tuesday against restarting trade tensions and that it would hit back at countries that make deals with the US to exclude China from supply chains.

Meanwhile, Trump injected fresh uncertainty into the metal market this week, confirming 50% copper import tariffs from Aug. 1 to match steel and aluminum. Trump's copper tariffs are also set to include the kinds of materials used for power grids, the military and data centers, a Bloomberg report highlighted on Friday.
Here is where things stand with various other partners:

Vietnam: A deal with Vietnam will see the country's imports face a 20% tariff — lower than the 46% Trump had threatened in April. He also said Vietnamese goods would face a higher 40% tariff "on any transshipping" — when goods shipped from Vietnam originate from another country, like China. According to reports, Vietnam's leadership was caught off guard by Trump's announcement last week that it agreed to a 20% tariff and is now seeking to lower the rate.

European Union: The EU has signaled it is willing to accept a 10% universal tariff on many of its exports but is seeking exemptions for certain sectors. The bloc is racing to clinch a deal this week.
