Trump Prepares to Introduce Record Tariffs on Chinese Imports

Re-elected Donald Trump expresses his intentions to pursue an uncompromising protectionist policy by imposing record tariffs on Chinese imports, reminiscent of his first term’s trade war with China. In the current post-pandemic economic climate, these actions could have even more significant consequences.

Uncompromising Trade Showdown

Donald Trump, back on the political scene, announced his desire to impose tariffs ranging from 10% to 20% on all imported products into the US. For goods coming from China, rates could reach an unprecedented 60% to 100%. According to Steven Mnuchin, former Treasury Secretary under Trump, these measures are necessary as he believes "China does not respect everything that was signed during the first phase of the trade agreement." The aim is to force Beijing back to the negotiating table and restore fairness, which his administration considers compromised by Chinese protectionist trade practices.

Appeal for Dialogue and Warnings from Beijing

In response to this American offensive, China has called for "cooperation" and warned against the effects of escalation. Chinese President Xi Jinping believes that "there are no winners in a trade war," which could harm both involved countries and the global economy. Beijing is attempting to maintain a moderate stance, emphasizing the opening of discussions over confrontations that could lead to a spiral of measures and reprisals. Xi Jinping also expresses a desire to strengthen ties with other economic partners, such as the European Union, which might find itself in a strategic position amid these tensions.

Implications of a New Trade War

If this hardening policy continues, the impacts could go beyond a simple Sino-American trade rivalry. Europe may strengthen its trade barriers to protect its market against global tariff fluctuations. In this context, American and Chinese companies will have to adjust supply chains and international strategies to comply with new constraints. An outcome of this trade war could influence other countries' trade policies, which will need to navigate between the two superpowers to avoid significant economic fallout.

The new wave of trade confrontation between the US and China could lead to significant global economic consequences. Both sides remain on divergent paths, making the prospects for a deal uncertain.
