Summary:The US government, through a letter from the White House dated July 7, 2025, informs Kazakhstan's President that due to persistent, non-reciprocal trade deficits attributed to Kazakhstan's trade barriers, a 25% tariff will be imposed on all Kazakh products entering the United States starting August 1, 2025. The letter states that this deficit poses a major threat to the US economy and national security, while offering an exemption from tariffs if products are manufactured within the United States. It also warns of increased tariffs if Kazakhstan raises its own tariffs.
Sentiment:Directive
Key Claims:
- The United States has a significant and persistent trade deficit with Kazakhstan, attributed to Kazakhstan's tariffs and non-tariff barriers.
- The trade relationship between the US and Kazakhstan has been non-reciprocal.
- Starting August 1, 2025, the US will implement a 25% tariff on all Kazakh products imported into the United States.
- Goods transshipped to evade higher tariffs will be subject to an equivalent higher tariff.
- The 25% tariff is stated to be insufficient to fully eliminate the existing trade deficit disparity.
- Tariffs will not be applied to products if Kazakhstan or Kazakh companies choose to build or manufacture products within the United States.
- If Kazakhstan raises its tariffs, the US will add that amount to the existing 25% tariff.
- The current unsustainable trade deficits are deemed a major threat to the US economy and national security.
