Washington, July 9 – President Donald Trump announced today new tariffs beginning in early August on six additional countries, including Algeria, Libya, and Iraq.
Trump issued six letters to Algeria, Brunei, Iraq, Libya, Moldova, and the Philippines. The letters specify tariffs of 30% on Algeria and Iraq, 25% on Brunei and Moldova, and 30% on Libya and the Philippines.
Earlier, on April 2, the President signed an executive order imposing reciprocal tariffs on all countries worldwide. On April 9, he announced a 90-day suspension of the reciprocal tariffs on all countries, except for China, for which tariffs were raised to 125% on imports.

The recent announcement from the U.S. regarding new tariffs on six countries will create both risks and opportunities for Oman’s businesses. As global trade dynamics shift, companies may encounter increased costs, but this could also lead to new markets for Omani exports as affected nations seek alternatives. Smart investors and entrepreneurs should evaluate how these changes in tariffs could reshape supply chains and consumer behavior, capitalizing on shifts in demand toward Omani products.
