**Washington D.C.** – President Trump’s newly implemented reciprocal tariffs have caused confusion among over a dozen countries after discrepancies emerged in the official tariff rates. The White House initially published an annex listing higher tariff rates for at least 14 economies than those presented during the initial Rose Garden announcement. These discrepancies involved a one-percentage-point difference in each case.

Following the discrepancies, the White House corrected the annex to match the lower rates originally shown by President Trump. For example, India’s tariff rate was initially listed as 27% in the annex, later corrected to 26%, matching the President’s earlier announcement. Similar adjustments were made for South Korea, Botswana, Cameroon, Malawi, Nicaragua, Norway, Pakistan, the Philippines, Serbia, South Africa, Thailand, Vanuatu, and the Falkland Islands.

A White House official confirmed that the revised annex rates are now definitive.

Further complicating matters, the annex omitted several overseas territories and possessions of larger nations that were initially included in Trump’s tariff charts. Notable omissions include Reunion (a French territory), Saint Pierre and Miquelon (a French archipelago), and Norfolk Island (an Australian territory). These territories had been assigned individual tariff rates in the initial announcement, differing from the rates applied to their respective parent countries. France, as an EU member, now faces a 20% tariff, while Australia’s rate remains at the global minimum of 10%. The discrepancies raised concerns about the clarity and consistency of the administration’s tariff policy.
