Trump suggested Monday that any nation that refuses to strike a deal with the U.S. would face a tariff between 15 and 20 percent.
“We’re going to be setting a tariff for essentially the rest of the world, and that’s what they’re going to pay if they want to do business in the United States. Because you can’t sit down and do 200 deals. But we made the big ones,” he said.
Here are some of the top trading partners that have not struck deals with the U.S.
China: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and his Chinese counterparts held talks this week in China and Stockholm this week, which marked the third round of talks between the two nations. The talks led to another possible extension in the trade deal that was announced in May, without details about the timing of that extension.
Canada: Negotiations between the Trump administration and Canada have stalled, Trump said last week.
