The White House says foreign leaders are “ringing Donald Trump’s phone” to negotiate trade deals after the US president announced a new wave of levies for over 90 countries. On Thursday (31 July), Mr Trump announced a huge series of “reciprocal tariffs” ranging from 10% to 40% just hours before the original Friday (1 August) deadline. Speaking at The White Office, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said: “I know foreign leaders are ringing his phone and realising that this deadline is a real thing for them so they’re bringing offers to the table.” Most of the announced tariffs will not go into effect until 7 August, except for 35% tariffs on Canada, which begin from 1 August.

The White House has said any country that does not agree to new terms of a trade deal with the U.S. by Friday will face the tariff rates Trump initially announced in April.
