U.S. President Donald Trump announced on the 9th (local time) that he would reveal letters regarding trade negotiations and tariffs to at least seven countries.

On the 8th, President Trump stated on his social media platform Truth Social, "I will announce at least seven countries related to trade tomorrow morning," adding, "Additional countries are scheduled to be announced in the afternoon."

This announcement came just a day after he sent revised tariff increase letters to 14 countries.

The day before, Trump said during a dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, "I have successfully negotiated transactions with the United Kingdom and China, and a trade agreement with India is imminent."

On the same day, he announced tariffs ranging from 25% to 40% on Korea, Japan, Thailand, and 11 other countries.

Trump reiterated his resolve not to extend deadlines any further.

He wrote on Truth Social, "Tariffs will begin to be paid starting August 1, 2025," and stated, "This date has not changed and will not change in the future."

He emphasized, "All money must be paid starting August 1, 2025, and extensions are not allowed."

Since announcing the tariff increase plan on April 2, Trump has been engaged in a trade war with key U.S. allies.
