[SINGAPORE] Malaysia and Thailand are the economies in Asean that are set to take the biggest hits from tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump on Monday (Jul 7), according to analysts.
Trump announced tariff rates on 14 countries, and also pushed back the date when tariffs are set to take effect – to Aug 1. His announcement came ahead of a 90-day pause that was to end this week.
In April, Trump announced “Liberation Day” tariffs for the US’ trading partners but lowered them to a flat 10 per cent for the duration of the pause.
