US President Donald Trump is expected to announce a new package of trade tariffs on products from dozens of countries later this week, according to reports. Financial Times on Tuesday (21). According to the publication, the measure precedes the expiration of the temporary global tariff of 10%, scheduled to expire next Friday (24). The US government intends to replace this mechanism with a new tariff regime aimed at different trading partners. The global tariff was adopted after the US Supreme Court invalidated, in February of this year, the so-called reciprocal tariffs announced by the White House in April 2025. As a temporary solution, the government implemented a uniform rate of 10% on imports from various countries. Also according to the newspaper, the new tariffs should remain, for the most part, close to the current level of 10%. However, the US government is also conducting other trade investigations that could result in the application of higher rates for certain countries and sectors. In parallel, Washington has already announced specific measures against some trading partners. Last week, the United States confirmed an additional 25% tariff on Brazilian products, which comes into effect this Wednesday (22), as part of the investigation conducted under Section 301 of the US Trade Act. The government also approved yesterday (20) tariffs of up to 50% on certain Canadian products, with the start of the period scheduled for August 19.
