25% on India, 19% on Pakistan: Know which countries are most affected by the US tariff rates announced by Donald Trump; see full list
US: The global trade assault of US President Donald Trump was further intensified on Thursday when he issued a broad executive order imposing greater tariffs on a number of countries, including the 27-member European Union. The “Further Modifying The Reciprocal Tariff Rates” order will raise rates to 41% and comes into effect on August 7, seven days after it was issued.
A 25% “Reciprocal Tariff, Adjusted” has been imposed on India, one of the highest rates among the major trade partners of the United States. The White House cited India’s “obnoxious non-monetary trade barriers,” ongoing trade deficits, and close military and energy connections to Russia as justification for the action.
In order to give US Customs and Border Protection time to upgrade its systems, the application of the tariffs was postponed from its original August 1 deadline to August 7.
According to a senior official who spoke to Associated Press reporters on condition of anonymity, the delay underscores the government’s need for more time to harmonize the tariff rates.
Global rebalancing: Some countries are more severely affected
Trump’s attempt to equalize what he describes as unfair trade disparities and national security threats includes the tariff increase.
The sharpest rises have been seen by those with significant trade deficits with the US or those with inadequate strategic alignment.
The highest rises are seen in Syria (41%), Laos and Myanmar (40%), Switzerland (39%), Iraq (35%), Serbia (35%), and Canada (35%).
The new Executive order imposes a 25 percent tariff on India and a 19 percent tariff on Pakistan in South Asia.
Based on strategic alignment and trade imbalances, the US has issued modified reciprocal tariffs on 95 nations and territories, ranging from 10% to 41%.

Where does India stand in the midst of this tariff frenzy? “National interests first”
The United States has publicly connected its recent tariffs on India to its annoyance with New Delhi’s ongoing purchases of Russian weapons and oil. India’s energy trade with Russia, which supports Moscow’s military effort in Ukraine, is “undoubtedly a point of irritation” in relations, according to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Rubio acknowledged that India is a key partner with significant energy requirements, but he also said that Washington is “clearly frustrated” that India still purchases a lot of cheap Russian oil even if there are other international suppliers.
That discontent is seen to be sharply expressed by Trump’s decision to impose a 25% tariff on Indian products and an extra penalty for relations with Russia. Trump also charged India with failing to open its market to American products and enforcing “obnoxious” non-monetary trade restrictions.
Meanwhile, the administration has reaffirmed that it would act in the best interests of the country. The Ministry of Commerce emphasized that talks for a fair and reciprocal trade deal with the United States are still underway and said that it is evaluating the effects of the additional tariffs and fines. There have been five rounds of discussions so far, and a sixth round is anticipated later this month. On important subjects like dairy and agriculture, India has remained steadfast in its position and opposed US calls for further market access.
