Kathleen Harrison, the owner of an arts-and-crafts shop in the San Francisco Bay Area, is dreading what might happen if the US government raises tariffs on a slew of Asian economies later this summer. The 33-year-old is already under pressure as it is. The cost of key supplies such as paper stock has doubled this year due to a surge in demand, forcing her to hunt down bargains to keep her prices stable. Now, she worries that higher duties on imports from China and other major exporters will...

12 h. ago Trump’s Brics wrath: will India be caught out by tariff threat?

US President Donald Trump’s threat to slap an additional 10 per cent tariff on Brics nations may be more of a strategic warning rather than a prelude to action – and is not expected to disrupt India’s efforts to finalise a trade pact with Washington, according to analysts.

Southeast Asia’s plan of presenting a united front on US tariffs appears to have fallen apart, after the region’s diplomatic bloc admitted that its members will have to pursue their own talks with Washington to bring down punishing levies that threaten to sink demand for their vital exports. All but two members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) were served with letters from US President Donald Trump earlier this week, announcing tariffs of between 20 and 40 per cent that will...
