Trump’s approach to trade could be disruptive without doing much for America and the world

Live Mint  

Donald Trump will be sworn in as president of the US for a second time on 20 January 2025. India is one of the countries that Trump has threatened in case it moves ahead with using currencies other than the US dollar for its international trade. The US can reduce its aggregate trade deficit with the rest of the world only if it saves more, while China can reduce its structural trade surplus through higher domestic consumer demand. Trump also wants to protect the position of the US dollar as the global reserve currency even as he wishes to cut the size of the US trade deficit. The American economist Robert Triffin had pointed out way back in the 1950s that the US would have to maintain global liquidity by supplying dollars to the rest of the world via trade deficits, or when its payments to other countries was higher than what it earned from other countries.
