US President Donald Trump speaks during a bilateral meeting at the Trump Turnberry Golf Courses, in Turnberry south west Scotland on July 28, 2025. <\/p>\n

On Monday, President Donald Trump announced that a global blanket tariff would likely fall between 15% to 20%<\/a>. This would affect imports from countries that have not yet negotiated separate trade agreements with the United Statements.<\/p>\n

“For the world, I would say it’ll be somewhere in the 15 to 20% range … I just want to be nice,” Trump said alongside United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer. “I would say in the range of 15 to 20%, probably one of those two numbers.”<\/p>\n

Trump had previously announced that baseline tariffs would be just 10%. The president’s tariffs are expected to go into place on Aug. 1.<\/p>\n
