总统唐纳德·特朗普在他的社交媒体平台上发布了两封信，宣布了新的关税欧盟和墨西哥将于8月1日生效。
特朗普在给墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·申鲍姆的一封信中说，由于芬太尼过境，特朗普将对墨西哥征收30%的关税。
“墨西哥一直在帮助我确保边境安全，但墨西哥所做的还不够。特朗普在信中写道:“墨西哥仍然没有阻止那些试图将整个北美变成毒品贩运游乐场的卡特尔。
墨西哥在4月2日没有面临新的关税，这一天是特朗普所谓的“解放日”关税推出。加拿大和墨西哥对不符合美国管理认证协会标准的商品仍征收25%的关税，对钢铁、铝和衍生产品征收50%的关税。
这美国主要从墨西哥进口车辆、机械和电气设备，以及水果、蔬菜、啤酒和烈酒等农产品。
特朗普在给欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯·德·莱恩的一封信中表示，由于美国的贸易逆差，欧盟也将面临30%的关税。
欧盟是美国最大的贸易集团之一，主要向美国出口医药产品和机械设备。
根据美国贸易代表办公室的数据，2024年美国对欧盟的商品贸易逆差为2356亿美元，比2023年增长12.9 %。
特朗普长期以来一直吹捧富有成效的对话，这些对话让他对与欧盟的贸易协议“极其满意”;然而，他一度威胁要征收高达50%的关税。
特朗普在信中再次承诺，不会对决定在美国建厂的制造企业征收关税。
欧盟委员会主席周六回应称，30%的关税“将伤害大西洋两岸的企业、消费者和患者。”
“我们将继续努力，争取在8月1日前达成协议，”冯德莱恩说。“与此同时，我们准备在相称的反措施基础上捍卫欧盟的利益。”
在X上发布的一份声明中，墨西哥经济部长马塞洛·埃布拉德表示，墨西哥已经与美国进行了谈判，以“保护企业和就业”
“我们被告知，作为美国贸易政策深刻变化的一部分，所有国家都将收到美国总统签署的一封信，从8月1日开始建立新的关税，”埃布拉德说。“我们在会上声明这是一笔不公平的交易，我们不同意。”
Trump announces 30% tariffs on European Union and Mexico
PresidentDonald Trumphas posted two letters on his social media platform announcing newtariffson the European Union and Mexico that will take effect on Aug. 1.
Trump will impose a 30% tariff on Mexico due to fentanyl crossing the border, he said in a letter to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.
"Mexico has been helping me secure the border, BUT what Mexico has done is not enough. Mexico still has not stopped the Cartels who are trying to turn all of North America in a Narco-Trafficking Playground," Trump wrote in the letter.
Mexico did not face a new tariff on April 2, the day of Trump's so-called"Liberation Day" tariff rollout. There remains a 25% tariff on non-USMCA-compliant goods from Canada and Mexico, as well as a 50% tariff on steel, aluminum and derivative products.
TheUnited Statesmainly imports vehicles, machinery and electrical equipment, alongside agricultural products such as fruits, vegetables, beer and spirits from Mexico.
Trump said the EU will also face a 30% tariff as a result of the United States trade deficit, in a letter addressed to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
The EU, one of the largest trading blocs with the U.S., primarily exports pharmaceutical products and mechanical appliances to the U.S.
According to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the U.S. goods trade deficit with the European Union was $235.6 billion in 2024, a 12.9 % increase over 2023.
Trump has long touted productive conversations that left him "extremely satisfied" regarding a trade deal with the EU; however, at one point, he once threatened tariffs as high as 50%.
In his letters, Trump again promised that there would be no tariffs on manufacturing companies that decide to build in the U.S.
The European Commission president responded Saturday saying the 30% tariff "would hurt businesses, consumers and patients on both side of the Atlantic."
"We will continue working towards an agreement by August 1," von der Leyen said. "At the same time, we are ready to safeguard EU interests on the basis of proportionate countermeasures."
In a statement posted on X, Mexican economic minister Marcelo Ebrard said Mexico had already been negotiating with the U.S. to "protect businesses and jobs."
"We were informed that, as part of the profound changes in U.S. trade policy, all countries will receive a letter signed by the President of the United States establishing new tariffs starting August 1st," Ebrard said. "We stated at the meeting that this was an unfair deal and that we did not agree with it."
