WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US President Donald Trump on Wednesday sent trade letters to Algeria, Libya, and Iraq, announcing that the countries will be subjected to a 30% tariff on exports to the United States.
"Starting on August 1, 2025, we will charge Iraq a Tariff of only 30% on any and all Iraqi products sent into the United States, separate from all Sectoral Tariffs. Goods transshipped to evade a higher Tariff will be subject to that higher Tariff. Please understand that the 30% number is far less than what is needed to eliminate the Trade Deficit disparity we have with your Country," Trump said in a letter to Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al Sudani.
In his letters to Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune and Libya's Government of National Unity Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dabaiba, the US president warned that if their countries decide to raise their tariffs on US goods in retaliation, Washington will add the same tariff on top of the announced 30%.
