最高50%！特朗普再宣称对8国加征关税，缘何摩尔多瓦也上榜？

Core Points - The latest tariff letters from President Trump target eight countries, including Brazil, the Philippines, and Moldova, with varying rates of tariffs set to begin on August 1, 2025 [2] - Tariffs on products from the Philippines will be 20%, while those from Brunei and Moldova will face 25%. Algeria, Iraq, Sri Lanka, and Libya will see a 30% tariff, and Brazil will face a 50% tariff [2] - Compared to previous rates announced in April, tariffs on Iraq and Sri Lanka have decreased from 39% and 44% to 30%, while the tariff on the Philippines has increased from 17% to 20% [2] Group 1 - Trump criticized Brazil for "unfair trade practices" and indicated that the 50% tariff is still below what is necessary for fair competition [4] - He warned that if Brazil retaliates with higher tariffs on U.S. goods, the U.S. may increase tariffs on Brazil beyond 50% [4] - Trump has instructed the U.S. Trade Representative to initiate a Section 301 investigation against Brazil, suggesting potential adjustments to tariffs based on trade relations [5] Group 2 - The inclusion of Moldova in the tariff letters is notable, as the trade deficit with the U.S. was only $85 million last year, raising questions about the rationale behind the designation [6] - Experts suggest that the U.S. government has previously focused too much on major trading partners, neglecting smaller countries, and the current approach appears to lack a coherent strategy [6] - The trade policy being executed by the Trump administration is seen as consistent, based on perceptions of "reciprocity" and trade imbalances, without differentiating between countries [6]
