Major US trading partners scrambled over the weekend to finalize trade deals or lobby for extra time as President Donald Trump said he’s notifying about a dozen countries on Monday of the new tariff level on their shipments to the US.

President Donald Trump said early Friday his administration is resuming a broad set of tariffs on dozens of countries after a 90-day pause, as trade negotiations with many of those nations have failed to yield new deals.

The U.S. and the European Union have not yet struck a trade deal with just days to go before Trump's tariff reprieve is set to end.

With just five days remaining in the tariff moratorium, the White House is expected to begin delivering a message to a dozen or so countries: Time is up, and here’s your new rate.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday his administration later in the day will begin sending letters to 10 to 12 countries informing them of the tariff rate their products will face in the United States.
