Trump Tariffs: Economic Impact and Global Repercussions

In April 2025, President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs on imports from over 60 countries, including China, Mexico, Canada, and the European Union. Dubbed the “Liberation Day” tariffs, these measures have sparked significant economic and geopolitical consequences.

Inflationary Pressures

Despite initial expectations, the immediate inflationary impact has been moderate. In May 2025, the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.1% month-over-month, with an annual increase of 2.4%. Core CPI, excluding food and energy, remained steady at 2.8% . However, economists caution that the full effects of the tariffs may take time to materialize, potentially leading to higher consumer prices in the coming months.

⚫️Shifts in Trade Alliances

In response to U.S. tariffs, countries like China and the European Union are reevaluating their trade relationships. China is seeking to diversify its trade partnerships, increasing engagement with European markets to mitigate the impact of U.S. tariffs.
