U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday stateside rejigged the so-called “reciprocal” tariff rates for several countries, ahead of the Friday deadline announced earlier.
The White House also announced a 40% tariff rate for all goods transshipped to avoid the applicable duties.
Countries not listed in the latest order will face an additional duty of 10%. The updated directive modifies tariffs imposed under the earlier executive order issued in April.
Here are reactions to Trump’s latest tariff announcements from countries in Asia as the clock ticks down to the Aug. 1 deadline. It was not immediately clear if that date had been pushed back for the tariffs to kick in.
“This is a good news for the citizens and economy of Cambodia to continue developing the country.” Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said on Friday on Facebook after the revised table of tariffs was released.
