Trump's Tariff War: What We Know About Imposed Tariffs and Their Impact on Trade

In recent years, the tariff policy initiated by former President Donald Trump's administration has been a significant topic in discussions about international trade. In particular, numerous tariffs have been imposed on goods imported from various countries, resulting in substantial changes in relationships with key trading partners such as China, Europe, and Mexico. These measures were part of a broader strategy to protect the American economy and stimulate domestic production.

As of now, steps have been taken against China, including the introduction of tariffs on tens of billions of dollars' worth of a wide range of products, from electronics to agricultural goods. This was done with the aim of reducing the U.S. trade deficit and compelling Chinese companies to adhere to stricter trade rules. However, these measures have led to reciprocal actions from China, which also imposed tariffs on American goods, thereby creating mutual trade tensions.

Additionally, tariffs have affected other countries as well. For example, the EU and Mexico also faced increased tariffs on their products, which in turn impacted prices for American consumers. Consequently, many experts and economic analysts have begun to question the long-term consequences of such a policy for the U.S. economy and global trade as a whole.

With the recent change in administration in the U.S., many observers have begun to anticipate adjustments to tariff policy. However, at present, most existing tariffs remain in effect, and discussions surrounding their possible repeal or modification continue. This creates uncertainty in the market and affects international companies' decisions regarding how to conduct business amid existing tariff barriers.
