U.S. Trade Policies and Global Impact

This chapter examines the effects of recent U.S. trade policies on the global trade framework, tracing the historical roots of these policies back to post-World War II agreements. It critiques the rise of protectionism and the implications of the Trump administration's stance on reciprocal protection, highlighting the importance of non-discriminatory trade principles. The discussion raises concerns about the U.S. distancing from global trade norms and the continued push for trade liberalization by other countries.
