Trump tariffs

The move comes ahead of a deadline that may see much higher import taxes on goods coming into the US.

As President Trump weighs tariff plans, he will have one eye on the US economy.

The US plans to charge 20% tariffs on Vietnamese goods - less than half the rate set to go into effect next week.

It would be well above the 24% tariff imposed on Japan as part of the so-called "Liberation Day" in April.

With days to go before 9 July, when the tariff pause ends, hopes persist but negotiations are tough.

A new tax on technology firms is being halted after Trump threatened new tariffs on Canadian goods.

Intense US-Canada negotiations for a potential new trade and security deal have hit a snag ahead of a mid-July deadline.

Canada had been hoping to secure a trade deal with the US next month to avoid steep tariffs.
