The United States raise the mail in commercial negotiations. According to a reserved draft of the Usa Commercial Representative Office viewed by Reuters, Washington has given international partners Time until June 4, 2025 To present their best offers in the tariff field.
Trump aims to tighten bilateral agreements by 8 Julydeadline set by the White House to conclude the negotiations open on April 9, when Donald Trump had suspended the duties known as “of the day of liberation” for 90 days following the collapse of the markets.
The United States ask for detailed answers on Tariff offers and purchase fees of industrial and agricultural products and interventions to eliminate non -tariff barriers. Trump shakes the times and aims to collect quick results, soliciting a “landing zone” that satisfies American interests and force partners such as EU, Japan, Vietnam and India to get out of the limbo negotiating.
The United States ask for offers on non -tariff duties, quotas and barriers
The letter signed by the office of the US commercial representative is a precise list of requests. Each country will have to present itself with a detailed proposal: rates, quotas, openings on digital trade, economic safety and perhaps also a review of the technical barriers that hinder US products.
Washington wants his hands free for his industrial and agricultural exporters, asking in return to scissor the duties on import. So far the only one to have signed something vaguely resembling an intensA is the United Kingdom, but more than an agreement is a sketch of commitments to be developed.
Trump relaunches on Truth: “Without response duties, the US economy is over”
On the internal front, the debate revolves around Trump’s protectionist policy. The president relaunched the message on his social network Truth, writing that The US cannot let other countries impose duties impunity.
In a post he ordered that “if other countries are allowed to use duties against us and we are not allowed to contrast them, our country does not even have a small possibility of economic survival”.
For Trump in fact, the survival of industry and American economy requires the right to react with immediate countermeasures. Its “America First” line is popular among the Republicans: various party exponents also see in the duties a source of tax revenue useful to compensate for recent Tax cutting measures questioned at the Congressor.
Battle in the American courts: the duties remain in the balance
While Trump plays in advance on negotiations, a parallel game is fought in the American courts. The Court of International Commerce has branded many of the global rates imposed by the White House as “illegitimate”, specifying that it is the taxes and duties is the Congressnot the tenant of the oval studio.
A matter of skillsrather than ideology and opportunities. A few hours later, the Court of Appeal suspended the effectiveness of the decision, allowing the rates to remain operational until the conclusion of the procedure. The final verdict will arrive, but in the meantime the measures remain on the field, with all their economic and political effects.
Global tensions and waiting for the agreements: what can happen now
The uncertainty about the duties has repercussions even beyond the political debate. Some analysts report that Many industries have already anticipated purchases and investments Waiting for a negotiating solution, which is giving breath to international markets.
In the short term, the global economy seems to be better than expected, but uncertainty has caused financial volatility and tensions.
Reuters for example observes how this week a court first blocked and then reinstated Trump’s duties, creating a level of legal uncertainty that will do very little to encourage commercial agreements.
Abroad, the European Union would like to negotiate from a position of strength, even if its offer of totally lower the duties (zero per zero) even without giving in indispensable internal points such as their own taxes and food standards.
