U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States will impose a 19% tariff on imports from the Philippines, trimming the previously signalled rate by one percentage point, after hosting Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at the White House on 22 July. Trump told reporters the two countries were “very close” to concluding a broader trade deal and asserted that U.S. exports to the Philippines would face zero tariffs under the arrangement he envisages. Marcos described the bilateral relationship as “ironclad,” while Trump praised the Philippines as a “very important nation militarily.” On security, both leaders reaffirmed their alliance, with Marcos stressing that Manila sees no need to balance ties between Washington and Beijing because “our strongest partner has always been the United States.” Trump said he had no objection to Manila maintaining good relations with China and added that he would “probably” visit China “in the not too distant future.”
