U.S. Imposes 25% Tariff on Japan and South Korea: How This Affects Your Business Strategies in Oman
Washington, July 7 – U.S. President Donald Trump announced today the imposition of 25% tariffs on American imports from Japan and South Korea, effective August unless the two Asian countries make substantial progress toward a trade agreement with the United States by then.
Trump shared two messages on his platform, Truth Social, addressed to Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, detailing the new tariff rates.
The messages specify that the U.S. will implement the 25% tariffs separately from additional tariffs targeting specific sectors on key product categories.
