Decoding Trump's 10% tariff plan
Former US president Donald Trump speaks at a caucus site in Clive, Iowa, the United States, Jan 15, 2024. This bold, protectionist move, aiming to boost American manufacturing, could have profound implications for the US economy, disrupt global trade, and add a new dimension to the already complex and tense US-China relationship. As the world's largest economy running the world's largest trade deficit, Trump's tariff plan for the US could send shockwaves through an already unsettled global economy. By curtailing US demand for foreign goods, thus dampening global demand, the plan would negatively impact the global economy, namely for countries with large trade surpluses such as Germany, China, and Japan. In light of Trump's victory in New Hampshire, his large lead in the polls of the remaining states in the GOP primary contest, and the increasing likelihood of his return to the White House, his proposed 10 percent tariff plan requires a careful look at its potential global impact.
