US Trade Policy Sparks Global Tensions Under Trump's America First Initiative

Published on 4.1.25

The Trump administration's America First Trade Policy Executive Order has set off a chain reaction in international relations, with the US government reviewing various trade practices to identify areas for improvement. The review includes assessing unfair trade, currency manipulation, export controls, and national security threats. The focus on extraterritorial or discriminatory taxes is a key aspect of this review, with significant implications for global trade. This move has sparked tensions between the US and several countries, including India, which are major trading partners. The decision to unveil country-based tariffs by US President Donald Trump regarding April 2 is expected to have far-reaching consequences for businesses and investors worldwide.
