Thai and Brazilian leaders have rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's new tariff threats that are poised to take effect on Aug 1.
On Monday, the Trump administration unveiled steep tariffs on more than a dozen countries including its key allies South Korea and Japan starting next month, saying that they will face tariffs of 25 to 40 percent from August 1 unless they take more U.S. exports and move to boost manufacturing in the U.S. The development has raised wide concerns over a potential escalation in trade tensions and broader economic fallout.
Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai said on Tuesday that the tariff policy the U.S. announced on Monday is a contradiction of what both sides negotiated. The Thai side will reassess the situation and prepare for further negotiations, according to the acting prime minister.
Thai Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira posted on X on Tuesday that Trump's letter shows that the United States has not yet considered the proposal recently put forward by Thailand. He said the Thai negotiation team will "fight" to the end, seeking more measures and solutions to secure the best deal for Thailand.
At the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro on Monday, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva criticized the U.S. tariffs as "wrong and irresponsible."
Lula said that Trump needs to understand that the world has changed. "We don't want an emperor. We are sovereign nations. If he thinks he can impose tariffs, other countries have the right to do the same. That is the law of reciprocity," said Lula.
