Summary:The White House has sent a letter to the President of Tunisia stating that the United States has a significant and persistent trade deficit with Tunisia, which is deemed a major threat to the U.S. economy and national security. To address this, the U.S. will impose a 25% tariff on all Tunisian products imported into the United States starting August 1, 2025. The letter invites Tunisia to discuss their trade relationship and indicates that no tariffs will be applied if Tunisia facilitates U.S. manufacturing within its borders. It also warns that any increase in Tunisian tariffs will result in an additional corresponding tariff from the U.S.
