#TrumpTariffs High-Stakes Trade Chess: A Look at Trump's 2025 Tariff Strategy

Washington D.C. - The global economic landscape is once again being reshaped by the assertive trade policies of the Trump administration. In a flurry of recent activity, new tariffs have been imposed, existing ones escalated, and high-stakes negotiations with key trading partners, most notably China, have taken center stage. This renewed focus on tariffs, a hallmark of Donald Trump's economic strategy, is sending ripples through international markets and raising questions about the future of global trade.

At the heart of the administration's strategy is the use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), a move that has empowered the White House to unilaterally impose sweeping tariffs, citing national security concerns. This has led to significant legal challenges, with courts currently weighing the legality of this approach.
