U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he has signed letters to 12 countries detailing the tariff levels their exported goods will face when entering the United States. These letters, described by Trump as "take it or leave it" offers, are scheduled to be sent out starting Monday afternoon, July 7, 2025, around noon. The communications mark a formal step in implementing the U.S. tariff policy, with Trump initially indicating the letters would begin going out on Friday but later confirming the dispatch to 12 countries on Monday. The letters outline the specific tariff rates applicable to imports from these countries, signaling a firm stance on trade and tariff enforcement.
