President Trump has implemented new tariffs on imports from more than 90 countries after failing to reach trade agreements by his August 1 deadline. These tariffs, which take effect on August 7 for most countries (with Canada's 35% rate already in effect since August 1), may result in higher prices for American consumers as companies pass on the increased costs. Brazil faces particularly steep 50% tariffs on most goods, while negotiations with China continue until August 12, and Mexico has received a 90-day extension at current tariff rates instead of the threatened 35% increase.
