Trump’s New Tariff Threat Rattles Southeast Asian Supply Chains

BTCCSquare news:
US President Donald TRUMP has escalated trade tensions with a proposal to impose 25–40% tariffs on Southeast Asian nations, targeting Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, and Thailand. The move, framed as a crackdown on trans-shipped Chinese goods, could inject $300 billion into US coffers by year-end—with the first wave of revenue expected as early as August.
Vietnam faces a bifurcated tariff structure: 20% on direct exports but 40% on rerouted Chinese merchandise. Analysts warn these measures risk fracturing regional supply chains, potentially inflating costs for American consumers and businesses. The August 1st negotiation deadline looms as a pivotal moment for affected nations to broker concessions.
