Twelve other countries will receive trade letters which will be posted on President Donald Trump's Truth Social platform, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Monday.
Leavitt said Trump will also sign an executive order later in the day formally delaying the July 9 deadline on tariffs to August 1.

Trump said the US would impose a 25% tariff on imports from Japan and South Korea beginning August 1 as he unveiled the first two of what he has said will be a wave of letters to trading partners outlining the new levies they face.
