Impact of Tariffs on Global Trade
The introduction of a 25% import tax on steel and aluminum by the U.S. is set to disrupt global markets, particularly affecting major suppliers like China, Canada, and Mexico. This escalation in trade tensions has already caused significant drops in stock shares for steel producers in Asia, as they are heavily reliant on exports to the U.S., leading to concerns over market volatility. Previous tariffs imposed during Trump's first term also had lasting effects, with trade flows shifting as countries adjusted to new economic realities. For instance, since 2018, the trade relationship between China and the U.S. has changed markedly, with China's exports to the U.S. declining significantly due to retaliatory tariffs.
