How Trump Turned the Tide in His Trade War
UNITED STATES, JUL 23 – President Trump increased tariffs from 10% to 15% on imports from key partners to protect US industry and leverage better trade deals, affecting dozens of countries, officials said.
- President Donald Trump raised tariffs on key trading partners and declared a trade war on the world, escalating global trade tensions in 2024.
- This escalation came after trade organizations attributed growing duties and uncertainty over trade regulations to the disruption of international commerce and increased market instability.
- The administration imposed historically high tariffs, paused some in April, and secured trade agreements offering tariff certainty with nations like Japan, the UK, and Southeast Asian countries.
- Sara Eisen reported $26.6 billion in US federal tariff revenue in June, while economists cautioned policies raise costs to businesses, and global trade volume is forecast to contract by 0.2 percent this year.
- Though US and global economies have withstood current tariffs, experts warn long-term political and economic damage remains possible and the trade war is far from over.
