A slew of countries will face steep levies, including a 50% tariff on imports from Brazil and a 30% tariff on the European Union.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the United States had agreed to a "massive" trade deal with Japan that would include a 15 percent tariff on its exports.

Trump attacked Australian import restrictions on U.S. beef when he announced in April that tariffs of at least 10% would be placed on Australian imports, with steel and aluminum facing a 50% tariff. “Australia bans — and they’re wonderful people, and wonderful everything — but they ban American beef ,” Trump told reporters then.

Australia will lift restrictions on the import of beef from the US, a trade barrier which had angered the Trump administration. American beef has effectively been banned from the country - which has some of the strictest biosecurity laws in the world - since 2003 after an outbreak of mad cow disease.

U.S. agriculture secretary credits Trump as Australia announces easing of restrictions on U.S. beef imports. But will Aussie consumers take advantage?

MANILA: Negotiations over the Philippines' new 19 per cent US tariff rate are "not finished", a key government economic adviser said Thursday (July 24), tamping down fears over the deal's potential impact on the agriculture sector.

The new rate is higher than what Trump had threatened when he first unveiled sweeping global tariffs in April.

President Donald Trump said the US reached an agreement with the Philippines setting a 19% tariff on the Southeast Asian country’s exports, a deal Philippine businesses say may push them to look at other markets.
