President Trump announces new tariffs on 14 countries

President Trump announced the final deadline for new tariffs on August 1, after previously extending deadlines twice this year. He imposed significant hikes, including 40% on Laos, 30% on South Africa, and 25% on South Korea and Japan, and plans to send similar notices to the European Union. Despite criticism, Trump praised recent fair trade dealings with China and reported a $100 billion gain from tariffs so far this year. Concurrently, Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to address Gaza conflicts and criticized Russian President Putin's stance on Ukraine.
