Trump said the United States would impose tariffs of 25% on goods from Tunisia, Malaysia and Kazakhstan, with levies of 30% on South Africa, Bosnia and Herzegovina, climbing to 32% on Indonesia, 35% on Serbia and Bangladesh, 36% on Cambodia and Thailand; and 40% on Laos and Myanmar. A deal with India was close, Trump added.

German finance minister Lars Klingbeil has warned that the EU stands ready to impose retaliatory measures against US goods if the two parties fail to reach a “fair” deal to resolve their trade dispute. Klingbeil told German MPs on Tuesday:

"I would say firm, but not 100% firm," Trump told reporters at a dinner with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when asked if Aug. 1 deadline was firm. Pressed on whether the letters were his final offer, Trump replied: "I would say final -- but if they call with a different offer, and I like it, then we'll do it."
