Donald Trump’s Reciprocal Tariffs and Their Global Impact

Since Donald Trump took office as the US President, he has aggressively pursued a policy of imposing tariffs on some of America’s biggest trade partners, including China, Canada, Mexico, and India. These reciprocal tariffs have led to volatility in global trade and impacted international markets significantly.

Starting from April 2, 2025, these tariffs will officially come into effect. Market analysts predict that the global economy’s reaction to these new trade policies will be crucial in determining the future of international trade relations. Many experts believe that these tariffs could escalate trade tensions between the US and other nations, further complicating diplomatic ties.
