The US tariff rate for some countries will go up to 15% or higher from the newly imposed 10%, Jamieson Greer, the US trade representative, said on Wednesday, without naming any specific trading partners or other details.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now, we have the 10% tariff. It\u2019ll go up to 15 [%] for some and then it may go higher for others, and I think it will be in line with the types of tariffs we\u2019ve been seeing,\u201d Greer said in an interview on Fox Business Network\u2019s Mornings with Maria program.<\/p>\n
The US president suffered a defeat at the hands of the US supreme court last week which struck down his sweeping \u201cliberation day\u201d tariffs imposed last year. But in response Donald Trump announced a 10% global tariff.<\/p>\n
According to a notice from the US customs agency: \u201can additional 10% ad valorem<\/em> duty on imported articles of every country\u201d has been imposed for a period of 150 days from Tuesday, unless specifically exempt.<\/p>\n Trump has also previously threatened to raise the level to 15% via social media posts.<\/p>\n Separately, FedEx sued the US government on Monday, seeking a refund for the tariffs after the supreme court decision.<\/p>\n Reuters contributed to this report<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The US tariff rate for some countries will go up to 15% or higher from the newly imposed 10%, Jamieson Greer, the US trade representative, said on Wednesday, without naming any specific trading partners or other details. \u201cRight now, we have the 10% tariff.
