Good morning. You are waking up in a world with dozens of new tariffs in place.

That's where we're starting the seven from the Washington Post. I'm Hannah Jewell. It's Thursday,

August 7th. Let's get you caught up with today's seven stories.

At the stroke of midnight, President Donald Trump's long-awaited tariffs took effect. I'll give you a world tour. In the first camp, you have around a dozen of America's

closest trading partners that have the frameworks of new trade deals in place. That includes the UK,

the European Union, Japan, and South Korea. It's a different story in countries which don't have

deals, but still do hundreds of billions of dollars of trade with the U.S. Switzerland and South Africa

will see new taxes of up to 39%. India's rate is set to jump to 50% in three weeks.

China and Mexico, meanwhile, are still negotiating. Yesterday, Trump also threatened to put still more

tariffs on computer chips, unless companies convince him that they're really trying to manufacture

in the U.S. We'll be putting a tariff on approximately 100% on chips and semiconductors.

But if you're building in the United States of America, there's no charge, even though you're building

and you're not producing yet in terms

of the big numbers of jobs and all of the things that you're building. If you're building,

there will be no charge. So I just want everyone to know that. Apple managed to secure an exemption

yesterday after promising to invest billions in U.S. jobs and suppliers and its CEO Tim Cook giving Trump a golden trinket.

Economists say the added costs from the tariffs will probably get passed on to you.

U.S. consumers and businesses are likely to see higher prices

and perhaps a shrinking economy.

Thank you. higher prices and perhaps a shrinking economy. Number two is a post-exclusive.
