Canada, India, and Brazil have all seen their tariff talks go sideways as President Trump's trade deadline approaches Friday.

China and the United States have diverged on the timing for another pause on tariff increases, a hurdle that must be cleared before the world’s two largest economies reach a trade deal ahead of an August 12 deadline.

U.S. President Donald Trump has tempered his most belligerent trade threats and begun striking deals with major partners, meaning most countries won't face the punishing tariffs announced on 'Liberation Day'.

The White House cited national security concerns for its tariff on copper, and Trump asked for restrictions on the export of copper scrap.

Trump announced the tariffs, some of the steepest levied on any economy in the U.S. trade war, as his administration also unveiled sanctions on the Brazilian supreme court justice who has been overseeing Bolsonaro's trial on charges of plotting a coup.
