Not just China, these US allies too could suffer the most by Donald Trump's tariffs

Hindustan Times  

President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to levy tariffs on imported goods as part of his second-term economic strategy. During his election campaign, Trump promised to employ tariffs to promote American companies, imposing up to 60 percent levies on Chinese goods and up to 20 percent on imports from other nations. Europe would be severely affected if… Speaking to Newsweek Dr. Rishav Bista, who works at Texas Christian University as an associate professor of economics, said: “While stands to affect the trade relationship with China more intensely, it is expected to affect trading relations with the EU as well.” Edward M. Feasel, president at the Soka University of America, told the outlet that if Trump follows through on his pledge to raise tariffs on goods and services, and even more on China, it will undoubtedly affect exports and gross domestic product in our allies' and other countries' economies. Europe would be severely affected during a “contained trade war” in which the United States is expected to raise tariffs on China to 25% on half of non-critical US imports and to 5% on the rest of the globe, excluding Canada and Mexico, predicts The Financial Times and Allianz Trade's model. According to the model, China's $125.3 billion in 2025 and 2026 would be at stake, while Europe would suffer a a loss of $124.8 billion in case of a “fully-fledged trade war” scenario that imposes 60% tariffs on Chinese exports and 10% on all other countries.
