Trump's Transition and Trade Policy Changes

Donald Trump's transition team has signed an agreement with President Joe Biden's administration to initiate preparations for his second term, focusing on cabinet nominees and federal agency landing teams. Notably, Trump has nominated Jameson Greer as the U.S. trade representative, who plans to impose steep tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has publicly warned that such tariffs could lead to economic consequences, affecting companies operating in both nations, highlighting the potential for job losses and inflation. The situation raises questions about the long-term viability and impact of Trump's aggressive trade policies, especially given the complexities involved in international cooperation.
