President Trump announces new tariffs on Kazakhstan, citing trade imbalance
![]() 1934 Monday, 07 July, 2025, 22:58 U.S. President Donald Trump has sent an official letter to Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, announcing the introduction of a 25% tariff on all Kazakh imports to the United States starting August 1, 2025, Trend reports. In the letter, Trump described the U.S.-Kazakhstan trade relationship as “far from reciprocal,” blaming longstanding tariff and non-tariff barriers imposed by Kazakhstan for creating a persistent trade deficit harmful to U.S. economic and national security interests. While reaffirming Washington’s commitment to working with Astana, Trump invited Kazakh companies to invest in U.S.-based manufacturing instead, promising fast-track approvals for domestic operations. |
