Singapore disappointed with 10% tariffs, will seek negotiation with the US: trade minister ...0

Singapore could take countermeasures under the free-trade agreement in force since 2004, but has chosen not to do so, Trade Minister Gan Kim Yong told a press conference on Thursday.

Gan said Singapore will try to engage the U.S. to understand President Donald Trump's areas of concern and see if they can be resolved.

Singapore was hit by Trump's 10% base tariff on imports, albeit much lower than neighbours in Southeast Asia where six countries were hit with tariffs of between 32% and 49%. The U.S. had a goods trade surplus of $2.8 billion with Singapore last year, an 84.8% increase over 2023, according to the United States Trade Representative website.

Gan, who is also Singapore's deputy prime minister, said the city-state's data showed the U.S. trade surplus with Singapore amounted to a “substantial” $30 billion in 2024. He did not elaborate.
