Riposte or give in? How countries react to Trump prices

In the days following President Donald Trump unveiled his “reciprocal” prices on dozens of business partners, the affected nations announced a series of reactions.

Some countries, such as China, have already established countermeasures on Trump’s prices, while others seek to negotiate exemptions.

Here’s how the governments of the world react to Trump’s prices.

China

Two days after Trump announced its prices, China retaliated, announcing that it would implement 34% of reprisals on all American imports.

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has also placed 11 American companies on a list of “unreliable entities”, effectively preventing them from business in the country.

“China urges the United States to immediately raise its unilateral tariff measures and to resolve its commercial differences through consultations equally, respectful and mutually beneficial,” the ministry said in a press release.

Trump imposed 54% prices on China since he took office.

In February, China implemented a price of 10% on crude oil, agricultural machines, vans and some large cars. China also imposed a 15% charcoal and liquefied natural gas levy.

Canada

For months, Trump threatened to annex Canada as part of his efforts to make it the 51st American state. He threatened Canada with a range of prices, superb government representatives and residents who have long had a relationship mainly conciliatory with the United States.

In March, Trump set 25% tariffs on Canadian products that did not comply with the agreement of the United States-Mexico-Canota, causing Canada outcry, which retaliated by placing a 25% price on certain American products.

On April 3, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that his country would impose a 25% tariff on vehicles imported from the United States which did not comply with USMCA.

Canada was spared from other samples from the United States last week.

Australia

Trump announced last week that Australia would be subject to the basic rate rate of 10% of the administration. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese responded quickly.

“Administration prices (United States) have no logic base-and they go against the partnership base of our two nations,” he told journalists on April 3. “It is not the act of a friend.”

Albanese said that Australia did not plan to retaliate with reciprocal prices on American products.

“We will not join a race down, which causes higher prices and slower growth,” he said.

European Union

Trump announced 20% prices on EU imports.

The EU should answer Trump with his own set of countermeasures in the coming days, according to Reuters.

On April 5, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the face of the White House office and a political ally of Trump, said that he wanted to see a “zero-tail” system between the United States and Europe.

Indonesia

Trump announced 32% of prices on the greatest economy in Southeast Asia.

The Minister of the Economy of Indonesia said on Sunday that the country would focus on diplomacy and negotiations to find mutually beneficial solutions rather than the response against prices.

“The approach was adopted by considering the long -term interest of the bilateral commercial relationship, as well as to maintain the investment climate and national economic stability,” said Airlangga Harto.

He also said that Indonesia would support sectors likely to be affected by prices, such as clothing and shoes industries. The main exports of Indonesia in the United States include electronics, clothing and clothing and shoes.

Japan

Japan will soon face a 24%rate, Trump announced.

“We had asked that the United States government examines its unilateral tariff measures at different levels and we are extremely disappointed and regret that such measures have nevertheless been implemented,” Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said shortly after Trump’s announcement.

The Minister of Commerce, Yoji Muto, later said that his ministry had created a working group to examine the impact of prices.

Asked about the potential of reprisals, Muto replied: “We must decide what is best for Japan and the most effective, in a cautious but daring and rapid way.”

Malaysia

Malaysia will see its exports in the United States being hit by a 24%rate.

The country does not envisage reprisals and “will seek solutions that will support the spirit of free and fair trade,” said its ministry for investment, trade and industry said on Thursday.

In a Sunday evening video address published on social networks, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said that Malaysia “will prepare a coordinated response from the Anase” towards Trump’s prices.

Malaysia currently chairs the Association of Southeast Asia Nations, a group of ten countries in the region, including Vietnam and Cambodia.

The Prime Minister also said that the country’s response would be “calm, firm and guided by the strategic interests of Malaysia”.

Mexico

Mexico dodged Trump’s reference rate last week.

Trump came into office to promise to slap a price of 25% on all imports from Mexico, but he then interrupted the samples from the products that were USMCA on free trade. USMCA non -compliant products continue to be subjected at a rate of 25%.

Trump had previously threatened Mexico prices on his concerns about fentanyl and illegal immigration. The White House has said that for the moment, all imports in accordance with USMCA can continue to enter the United States without added prices.

Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum welcomed her “good relationship” with the Trump administration for having avoided the president’s additional samples last week.

Vietnam

Trump said last week, he would impose a 46% rate on Vietnamese goods.

This is one of the highest rate rates set up by Trump against any country.

And that has prompted the country to take rapid measures.

Vietnam is “ready” to negotiate with the Trump administration to cancel all prices on American imports, according to a senior official.
