In a fresh move set to shake global trade dynamics, former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced new tariffs on six additional countries, including the Philippines and Iraq. The announcement was made via a series of posts on Trump’s social media platform, where he revealed that each targeted nation will face individually tailored tariff rates.
The countries named in the announcement also include Egypt, Nigeria, Vietnam, and Thailand — all of which now face elevated trade barriers with the United States. Trump framed the decision as part of a broader effort to “rebalance unfair trade relationships” and protect American manufacturing and jobs.
Each country received an official letter, the content of which was posted publicly, outlining the specific tariff rate applied to its goods. While full details of the products affected have not been disclosed, the move is expected to impact a wide range of sectors, including electronics, textiles, and agricultural exports.
The decision is already sparking concern among economists and international trade partners, with several of the targeted nations reportedly reviewing their diplomatic and economic responses.
Analysts say the tariffs could inflame trade tensions at a time when global markets are already under pressure from supply chain disruptions and inflationary trends.
As reactions begin to pour in from around the world, attention now shifts to how these countries — and Washington’s allies — will respond to this sharp turn in trade policy.
