美国总统特朗普宣布与菲律宾总统马科斯就贸易问题达成协议，并表示双方将在军事领域展开合作。根据协议，菲律宾将向美国开放市场并取消所有进口关税，而美国则对菲律宾进口商品征收19%的关税。此次协议是特朗普政府在与多国进行贸易谈判后，首次降低对某一国家进口商品的关税。尽管菲律宾政府尚未正式确认该协议，但特朗普在社交媒体上表示，这是在马科斯访美期间达成的“漂亮访问”后的成果。马科斯此前将美国称为其“最强大、最亲密、最可靠的盟友”。

🇺🇸🇵🇭 美菲达成一项贸易协议，菲律宾将向美国开放市场并取消所有进口关税，而美国将对从菲律宾进口的商品征收19%的关税，这是特朗普政府在与多国进行贸易谈判后，首次对某一国家进口商品降低关税。

🤝 军事合作方面，特朗普表示美国与菲律宾将携手合作，尽管其未详细说明合作的具体内容，但此举预示着两国在安全领域的联系将进一步加强。

📈 此前，特朗普曾威胁对菲律宾进口商品征收20%的关税，但最终达成的19%关税率是其向20多个国家领导人信件中所述的最新互惠关税中最低的，与对印度尼西亚进口商品征收的关税率相同。

💬 尽管特朗普在社交媒体上公布了协议细节，但菲律宾政府尚未对此进行官方确认，且未披露双方是否签署了正式文件。特朗普是在与马科斯在椭圆形办公室会晤后发布此消息的。

Trump in his social media post said “we concluded our Trade Deal” following Philippine President Marcos’ “beautiful visit”. Under the deal, the Philippines will open its market and lift all tariffs on goods imported from the U.S., while “the Philippines will pay a 19% Tariff”, according to the post on Trump’s platform Truth Social. 

Trump also said in the post that the United States and the Philippines “will work together Militarily,” without elaborating. The Philippine government didn’t confirm the deal.

Trump in the post didn’t disclose whether he and Marcos signed any official documents. His post came after meeting with Marcos in the Oval Office. Earlier Tuesday, Trump ahead of the meeting  signaled a trade deal between two countries is near conclusion.  “We’re very close to finishing a trade deal. A big trade deal, actually,” he told reporters the Oval Office.

As the first Southeast Asian leader to meet Trump when he returned the White House this year, Marcos told reporters that the U.S. was the Philippines’ "strongest, closest, most reliable ally". He didn’t make any comments after Trump’s post.  

The 19% tariff rate is just shy of the 20% tariff level Trump threatened in his letter to Marcos on July 9, but still higher than the reciprocal tariff of 17% on Philippine imports the president announced in early April.

The 19% tariff rate is the lowest rate among the new reciprocal tariffs effective on August 1 Trump dictating through his letters to heads of more than 20 countries earlier this month. It is the same with Indonesia imports to U.S. will face starting.

Trump on Tuesday said he reached a trade deal with Indonesia that will charge a 19% tariff on the Southeast Asian economy, and stressed the United States exports will be offered unprecedented access.  Indonesia thus became the first trading partner receiving the Trump administration’s cut in planned tariffs through trade negotiations by August 1. The 19% tariffs are inevitably lower than the 32% tariffs Trump threatened on July 7.
