On the evening of July 9 (Vietnam time), on the social network Truth Social, US President Donald Trump published letters announcing the imposition of tariffs on 6 countries.
Specifically, the US will impose a 30% tax on Algeria, Iraq, Libya, 25% on Brunei, Moldova and 20% on the Philippines.
The tariffs will take effect on August 1 unless countries reach a trade deal with the United States.
Before announcing these 6 letters, on July 8, Mr. Trump "teased" that he would announce trade measures with at least 7 countries on July 9. Thus, it is expected that the US president will post more "tax letters" during the day.

Like the first 14 letters he announced on July 7, the tariffs imposed on the six countries mentioned above are not much different from the reciprocal tariffs first announced in April.
The content of these letters is quite similar, citing the current trade relationship as "very lacking in reciprocity." The letters call on countries to produce in the US to avoid tariffs, while warning that Washington will escalate measures if countries retaliate.
In April, Mr. Trump announced that he would impose reciprocal tariffs on hundreds of economies , but then postponed the deadline for 90 days to negotiate. On July 7, the White House announced that it would postpone the deadline again until August 1.
In addition to tariffs on goods from various countries, since returning to the White House in January, Mr. Trump has also implemented separate import tariffs on steel, aluminum and cars.
On July 8, Mr. Trump announced that he would continue to impose a 50% tax on copper and consider imposing up to 200% on pharmaceuticals.
