Value represents jump compared to US $ 30 billion registered in the previous month
The Secretary of Commerce of the United States, said on Thursday (7.ago.2025) in an interview with Fox Business Networkthat the country should raise more than $ 50 billion per month with new import tariffs, a significant increase over US $ 30 billion from the previous month.
High comes from (7.ago), with rates between 10% and 50% on products from various countries.
The measures are part of the President’s (Republican Party) commercial policy, which also announced the intention of imported semiconductors, unless companies commit to producing on American soil. One is also must be implemented and can reach up to 250%.
Lutnick stated that additional revenue will include pharmaceutical and semiconductor products. The United States currently produces only 12% of global chips, compared to 40% in 1990. According to the secretary, domestic investments in the sector can reach $ 1 trillion.
Companies can escape the rates on semiconductors if they present production plans in the United States, with supervision of an auditor. The (European Union) has already accepted a 15% rate on most exports, and Japan has signed a similar agreement.
About the tariff truce with China, which expires on August 12, Lutnick said he expects an extension of 90 days, but the final decision will be up to the commerce team and the president.
