Donald Trump has said he is not planning to extend a 90-day pause on tariffs on most nations beyond July 9.
Speaking to Fox News, the US President also said his administration would notify countries of the trade penalties coming into effect, unless there are deals with the United States.
Letters will start going out “pretty soon" before the approaching deadline, Donald Trump said.
“We’ll look at how a country treats us, are they good, are they not so good, some countries we don’t care, we’ll just send a high number out," Trump said during an interview on Sunday.
Those letters, he said, would say, “Congratulations, we’re allowing you to shop in the United States of America, you’re going to pay a 25 per cent tariff, or a 35 per cent or a 50 per cent or 10 per cent."
On Friday, the US President had played down the deadline at a White House news conference, and had noted how difficult it would be to work out separate deals with each nation.
The administration had set a goal of reaching 90 trade deals in 90 days.
