U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new 19% tariff rate for goods from the Philippines.
This, after what he called a "beautiful visit" by Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to the White House.
The new tariff rate is just below the 20% threatened by Trump earlier this month. However, it is still above the 17% rate set in April when Trump announced what he called reciprocal tariff rates for dozens of countries.
It matches the 19% rate announced for Indonesia and bests Vietnam's slightly higher rate of 20%.
Trump posted the news on his Truth Social media platform after meeting with Marcos in the Oval Office.
The U.S. President earlier suggested a deal could be reached during the visit.
Trump said the two Pacific allies, who will celebrate 80 years of diplomatic relations next year, would also work together militarily but gave no details.
