During his presidency, Donald Trump was often frustrated by the limitations imposed by Congress and the judicial system. He has since adapted his strategy, viewing tariffs not just as a trade tool, but as a means to exert power over other nations. By leveraging the broad discretion he has over tariff rates, Trump has managed to circumvent traditional government barriers to implement his agenda. Examples include using tariffs to coerce Colombia into accepting deported immigrants, and threatening Canada and Mexico to control border issues. This approach reflects a significant shift in understanding the use of tariffs in foreign policy.
Trump's use of tariffs has evolved from a tool of trade regulation to a means of exerting unilateral control over other countries, bypassing government restraints.
During his presidency, Trump faced opposition from Congress and the courts, leading him to adopt tariffs as a way to act without interference.
