July 14, 2025- The U.S. will implement 30% tariffs on imports from the European Union and Mexico, effective Aug. 1, according to letters President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social Saturday morning, according to MedTech Dive. European leaders were quick to respond, saying they would still work to strike an agreement with the U.S. before the start of August, according to CNBC.
The announcements come amid a rush of country-specific duty proclamations from Trump, covering many of the country’s top trading partners, including Canada, Brazil, Japan and South Korea. All tariffs are slated to start Aug. 1, according to MedTech Dive.
