Who are the winners and losers of Trump's tariffs?
The harshest import taxes were slapped on Syria (41%), Laos and Myanmar (40%), three relatively poor nations with, at best, modest trading relationships with Washington. And Iraq, Serbia (both 35%) and Algeria (30%) also found themselves subject to Trump’s executive pen.
(Brazil faces its own separate 50% tariff as punishment for what Trump says is a "witch hunt" against its former president and his right-wing ally, Jair Bolsonaro, who is accused of plotting a coup.)
Elsewhere Thursday, Lesotho’s 50% rate was slashed to 15%. Switzerland — one of the richest nations in terms of gross domestic product per capita — awoke Friday to find that it had been slapped with a colossal 39% rate.
Thailand and Cambodia, which just agreed to a ceasefire after a five-day border conflict that killed more than 40 people, welcomed their 19% rate as “win-win” and “great news,” while Malaysia described its own rate as a “positive outcome.” Cambodia had been threatened with 49%.
The consistency creates a level playing field for Southeast Asian governments — with Indonesia and the Philippines on the same rate, and 20% for Vietnam — after they had worried Trump’s tariffs might favor some countries over others.
Taiwan, a tech hub that has a large trade surplus with the U.S., was hit with a 20% rate, lower than the 32% threatened in April but higher than the 15% negotiated by Japan, South Korea and the European Union. President Lai Ching-te said Friday that the 20% rate was “temporary” and that his government expected to negotiate a lower number.
