A White House annex listing future reciprocal tariff rates differed for at least 14 economies from what was on the charts presented when President Donald Trump announced his “Liberation Day” tariffs in the Rose Garden, according to a Bloomberg review of published data. In each case, they were higher by exactly one percentage point.
White House officials didn’t immediately return requests for comment from Bloomberg placed overnight.
In the annex document, India’s rate was listed at 27%, rather than the 26% shown previously. South Korea was at 26%, instead of 25%. Others with differing rates included Botswana, Cameroon, Malawi, Nicaragua, Norway, Pakistan, the Philippines, Serbia, South Africa, Thailand, Vanuatu, and the Falkland Islands.
This is important because, under the executive order implementing Trump’s reciprocal tariff policy, all US trading partners start at a global 10% tariff from April 5. Four days later, those listed in the annex — and only those in the annex — would have their rates elevated to those set out in that document.
