#TrumpTariffs #TradeWar
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited debate over tariffs as he doubles down on protectionist trade policies in his renewed political campaign. If reelected, Trump has vowed to impose sweeping tariffs — up to 60% or more — on Chinese goods and extend duties across major imports, targeting countries he accuses of "unfair trade practices."
What Are Trump’s Tariffs?
Trump's tariffs are essentially taxes imposed on imported goods. The idea is to make foreign products more expensive, encouraging Americans to buy U.S.-made alternatives. While this boosts certain domestic industries short term, critics argue it also risks higher consumer prices and retaliation from global partners.
Under his previous administration, Trump’s tariff actions spurred a multi-year trade war with China.
The 2025 Plan: Even Bigger Tariffs?🔺️🔻
In recent statements, Trump has proposed a universal baseline tariff — a flat fee on nearly all imports — in addition to more targeted duties, particularly against China and Mexico. Key areas likely to be affected include:
Technology and Electronics
Automobiles and Auto Parts
Steel, Aluminum, and Construction Materials
Consumer Goods and Apparel
This aggressive stance could spark another wave of tit-for-tat retaliation, putting U.S.
Impact on Global Trade
Analysts warn that new tariffs could disrupt international supply chains, stoke inflation, and strain diplomatic ties with allies. Countries like China, Canada, and the EU may respond with counter-tariffs, triggering a full-scale trade war 2.0.
Crypto and Commodities in Focus
Interestingly, global trade tensions often lead investors to hedge into commodities like gold or even cryptocurrencies. With the dollar’s strength and inflation in play, traders may see opportunities in BTC and decentralised assets.
