U.S. President Donald Trump announced new tariffs on imports from Malaysia, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Laos, and Myanmar, set to take effect August 1 unless these nations make progress toward trade deals with the United States.

The measures reinstate previously announced tariff rates:

• 25% on imports from Malaysia and Kazakhstan

• 30% on South African goods

• 40% on products from Laos and Myanmar

Trump confirmed the decision through a series of posts on his Truth Social platform, signing messages that formalized the tariffs. The move follows similar notices sent earlier to Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and South Korean President Moon Jae-in, imposing 25% tariffs on both key U.S. trade partners.

White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt stated that 14 tariff notices would be issued Monday, with more to follow in coming days. She confirmed Trump will sign an executive order extending the negotiation deadline from Wednesday to August 1.

Treasury Secretary Scott Vincent revealed Sunday on CNN that the administration plans to send approximately 100 notices, primarily to smaller trading partners, warning of reverted April tariff levels absent negotiation progress. "We expect to see many deals materialize soon," Vincent noted, suggesting the tariff threat would pressure nations to negotiate favorable terms with Washington.
