Trump releases new tariff rates for 14 countries: Look which country got how much

US President Donald Trump has issued new letters to 14 countries, closing trade deals while imposing fresh tariffs on them. The announcement was made on Truth Social, where Trump released individual letters for each country outlining the tariff percentages.

In this list, Myanmar and Laos face the highest tariffs at 40%, while other countries face tariffs ranging from 25% to 36%.

“We’re sending out letters to various countries telling them how much tariffs they have to pay. Some will maybe adjust a little bit depending if they have a cause, we’re not going to be unfair about it,” Trump added.

These letters mark the beginning of what the administration has described as a broader recalibration of trade relationships aimed at levelling the playing field for American producers.

Meanwhile, the US-India trade talks have seen momentum in recent months, with negotiators from both sides working to finalise a limited deal focused on tariff reductions. However, key sticking points remain, particularly regarding market access to India’s agricultural and dairy sectors. 

These areas are politically sensitive in India, where agriculture sustains nearly half of the population despite contributing only 16% to the economy.

Concerns over food safety and the livelihoods of rural communities have made New Delhi reluctant to open these sectors, a stance consistent with its policy of excluding agriculture from most free trade agreements.

In return, India is pressing for lower US tariffs on its labour-intensive exports such as leather goods, garments, and footwear, key industries that support millions of jobs in the country.
