Since taking office, President Trump has consistently aimed to use tariffs as a tool for economic growth. His approach includes a commitment to negotiate favorable trade agreements but has been marked by a lack of clear, coherent decision-making. Recent tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China exemplify this tumultuous strategy, aimed at balancing trade relations. However, the broader implications involve not just economic goals but also the political nature of tariffs as tools to reshape alliances and influence global markets, leading to an ambivalence in their actual purpose and execution.
Since resuming office, President Donald Trump has not for one minute parted from his promise to leverage tariffs to ignite a new golden age.
More recently, we were told that tariffs would be expanded to more nations, perhaps all nations, with each border tax charged equal to what they charge America.
