Trump: 12 trade letters have been signed and will be sent out on Monday

On July 5, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that he had signed trade letters to 12 countries outlining the different tariff levels they would face on goods imported into the United States, which would be sent out on Monday. He declined to say which countries were included in the first batch of letters or the specific tariff rates. Trump said on Friday that he expected most countries to receive the letters by July 9, when his 90-day suspension of reciprocal tariffs would take effect.
