US President Donald Trump has announced new tariffs of up to 40% on a growing number of countries, including Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Myanmar, Laos, Tunisia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Serbia, Cambodia, and Thailand. The tariffs are in response to trade deficits and policies that Trump deems are impeding American goods from being sold abroad. Trump sent letters to the leaders of these countries, informing them of the new tariff rates, and extended the deadline for 'reciprocal' tariffs to August 1. Many of the affected countries have welcomed the extension and expressed eagerness to continue discussions with the US to strike better deals.
