The Dawn of a Trade War: Analyzing Donald Trump's Tariff Policies
President Donald Trump has ignited a fresh wave of speculation regarding trade policies, declaring on February 1, 2025, the implementation of sweeping tariffs on a range of imports from key trading partners. Bursting forth his “America First” agenda, Trump announced a 25% tariff on all imports from Mexico and Canada, alongside a 10% tariff on imports from China, excluding energy resources, which faced a reduced 10% tariff. This decision stems not only from economic motives but also alleged national security risks tied to immigration and drug trafficking, setting the stage for a global economic shake-up.
