“Initially when it (Trump’s tariff) was imposed, few of our competitors were having lesser tariff than us. So, we were in little bit of a shaky position to fight with them and how to cope up with them in the competition. So, when now it has been revised, all of our competitors almost are in equal stage.”

U.S. tariffs of 20 percent left uncertainties among Taiwanese on Friday (August 1) with at least one company representative said they may alter their business strategy following the announcement. Sectors such as machinery and plastics would be among those affected by the reciprocal rate, according to an internal report by Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs seen by Reuters.

As a result, it all depends on the final tariffs rate, what markets Taiwan needs to open for the U.S., what we need to invest in U.S. We won’t know the impact until then.”

Malaysian pharmaceutical products and semiconductors will be exempt from U.S. tariffs, the country's trade minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz said on Friday (August 1) after the United States imposed a tariff of 19% on Malaysia's exports. He added the two countries would release a joint statement on tariffs in due course. (4295-USA-TRUMP/TARIFFS-MALAYSIA-NEWSER)

This will be followed by a joint statement by the Malaysia and US side, including the Malaysia Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and the US Trade Representatives (USTR) either on Saturday or Sunday."

12. AZIZ SPEAKING IN NEWS CONFERENCE

For decades, a Johannesburg-based mid-sized engineering company has manufactured and shipped valves used in mines, water and waste infrastructure to the United States, its biggest export market. Now, Dynamic Fluid Control, one of Africa's biggest valve makers which employs 200 people, is concerned that tariffs on steel and related products will force it out of the U.S market, which accounts for 80% of its export sales, and trigger job losses.

South Africans voiced concern on Friday (August 1) over the potential impact of a 30% tariff imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, warning of job losses and economic uncertainty as the measure takes effect. (4331-USA-TRUMP/TARIFFS-SAFRICA-REAX)

“30% is drastic. So a lot of people are going to lose jobs. And already the government is struggling to create more jobs as it is, and I don't see them creating any more jobs again. So it's going to probably be up to the entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs are going to have to somehow find a way to bring back the economy. But then at the end of the day, a lot of people are going to lose.”

Serbia's commercial position in the United States may be at risk if U.S. President Donald Trump's planned 35% tariff on Serbian imports is implemented, the assistant director at Serbia's Chamber of Commerce, Bojan Stanic, said on Friday (August 1). Serbian goods will be subject to a tariff rate exceeding that applied to Chinese imports, and among European countries, only Switzerland is currently facing a higher rate at 39%, said Stanic.

"Serbia is among the most affected countries in the world with tariffs, if they really happen - we will have to wait for the official announcement of the officials in Serbia as well. The tariffs are even higher than those applied for Chinese goods coming to America. On the other hand, in Europe only Switzerland is higher with 39%. We can freely say that this is indeed an irrational decision, bearing in mind that in the last ten years, the economic exchange between America and Serbia has significantly increased."

French perfume maker Corania, a 90-year-old family business based near Marseille, is facing a 15% tariff on most European exports to the U.S. starting Friday (August 1). With 25% of its revenue coming from 20,000 American sales points, CEO Laurent Cohen remains concerned about the impact of these tariffs on their U.S. sales. (4285-USA-TRUMP/TARIFFS-FRANCE)

“So this is new, it's forced on us, it's sudden. And so, we, who have been working in this market for many years, we had to turn around, we had to reinvent ourselves. We already had to be cautious because since January, we have no idea what’s coming next.”

An announcement of 39% U.S. tariffs on imports of Swiss goods was a shock and could cause tens of thousands of job losses in the country's technology industry alone, a representative of the sector said on Friday (August 1). The levy - up from an originally proposed 31% tariff that Swiss officials had described as "incomprehensible" - is a body blow for the small European nation. However, there was some respite for the country's pharmaceuticals sector, which includes industry giants Roche and Novartis, as they were not included in the 39% rate.

“It is really, it was a shock for us, and it is a shock for our export industry and the whole country. We are really stunned. And the tariffs are not based on any rational basis and are arbitrary, and it is impossible to explain what it means and why this decision is made so. So, there is no rationality.”

Switzerland's government said on Friday (August 1) it was assessing the situation after the White House announced a higher 39% tariff on Swiss imports to the United States in an escalating trade war between the two countries. The higher tariffs are putting pressure on export-oriented companies such as the Swiss watch industry and manufacturers of machinery and precision instruments, and their suppliers, the Swiss Federal Department of Finance said.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday (July 31) signed an executive order increasing tariffs on Canadian goods to 35% from 25% on all products not covered by the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, the White House said. U.S. duties and tariffs will heavily affect lumber, steel, aluminium, and automobiles, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a post on X, vowing action to protect Canadian jobs, buy its goods, invest in industrial competitiveness and diversify export markets. (4261-USA-TRUMP/TARIFFS-CANADA-CARNEY)

INTERNET (AUGUST 1, 2025) (SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITE - Access all) (MUTE)

40. VARIOUS SCREENSHOTS OF STATEMENT POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITE "X" BY CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER, MARK CARNEY, READING (English):

"President Trump has announced that the United States will increase its tariffs to 35% on those Canadian exports that are not covered under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement, or CUSMA. While the Canadian government is disappointed by this action, we remain committed to CUSMA, which is the world's second-largest free trade agreement by trading volume. /

The U.S. application of CUSMA means that the U.S. average tariff rate on Canadian goods remains one of its lowest for all of its trading partners. Other sectors of our economy — including lumber, steel, aluminum, and automobiles — are, however, heavily impacted by U.S. duties and tariffs. For such sectors, the Canadian government will act to protect Canadian jobs, invest in our industrial competitiveness, buy Canadian, and diversify our export markets. /

The United States has justified its most recent trade action on the basis of the cross-border flow of fentanyl, despite the fact that Canada accounts for only 1% of U.S. fentanyl imports and has been working intensively to further reduce these volumes. Canada's government is making historic investments in border security to arrest drug traffickers, take down transnational gangs, and end migrant smuggling. These include thousands of new law enforcement and border security officers, aerial surveillance, intelligence and security operations, and the strongest border legislation in our history. We will continue working with the United States to stop the scourge of fentanyl and save lives in both our countries. /

While we will continue to negotiate with the United States on our trading relationship, the Canadian government is laser focused on what we can control: building Canada strong. The federal government, provinces and territories are working together to cut down trade barriers to build one Canadian economy. We are developing a series of major nation-building projects with provincial, territorial, and Indigenous partners. Together, these initiatives have the potential to catalyse over half a trillion dollars of new investments in Canada. /

Canadians will be our own best customer, creating more well-paying careers at home, as we strengthen and diversify our trading partnerships throughout the world. We can give ourselves more than any foreign government can ever take away by building with Canadian workers and by using Canadian resources to benefit all Canadians."
