US lowers tariffs on French overseas territories ...Middle East

In a list of countries and territories published Wednesday, the Trump White House had said it would slap duties of 37 percent on imports from Indian Ocean territory La Reunion and 50 percent on those coming from tiny Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon in the north Atlantic.

Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon -- technically not part of the European Union -- will be hit with the same levy.

La Reunion’s regional president Huguette Bello had blasted Trump as “ignorant” on learning of the initial tariff rate Wednesday, while Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon MP Stephane Lenorman attacked “incompetence in the American administration.”

The island -- population 2,000 -- had initially been slated to face import duties of 29 percent, now reduced to 10.

Next Wednesday rates will be increased for dozens of US trade partners, with EU importers set to pay 20 percent and China 34 percent.
