President Donald Trump has set a hard deadline of August 1 for the implementation of sweeping new tariffs on dozens of countries, with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirming there will be no extensions or grace periods. The U.S. is using the threat of tariffs as leverage to push for new trade agreements, particularly with the European Union, Japan, and other major partners. While some deals, like the recent agreement with Japan, have been reached, negotiations with the EU and others remain tense and unresolved. The administration claims these tariffs will boost the U.S. economy, but there is widespread concern about potential price increases and global economic uncertainty. As the deadline approaches, the world is watching to see if last-minute deals can avert a major escalation in trade tensions.
