Trump Hits 22 Countries with Tariffs Up to 50% | Check Full List

U.S. President Donald Trump said that the new tariff rates are based on “common sense” and trade imbalances. However, this is quite different from what he wrote in his letter to Brazil, AP reported.

Trump admitted that he didn’t consider imposing tariffs on countries whose leaders were currently visiting him at the White House. The visiting countries include Liberia, Senegal, Gabon, Mauritania, and Guinea-Bissau. He said “These are friends of mine now.”

Trump claimed that countries have no problem with the outlined tariffs in his letters. Moreover, these rates are largely similar to ones announced on April 2.

“We haven’t had many complaints,” Trump said, “because I’m keeping the rates low, very conservative, as you’d say.”
