Initially, the US granted a 90-day grace period and shifted its focus to bilateral negotiations. Among Southeast Asian nations, Vietnam — faced with the threat of a 46% tariff — was the first to enter talks with the US, ultimately signing an agreement for a 20% reciprocal tariff. Likewise, Indonesia, which had originally faced a proposed 32% tariff, ended up agreeing to a 19% reciprocal tariff. The Philippines also signed a 19% agreement.
