this alarming imbalance to asymmetries in trade barriers between the United States and its foreign economic partners. For instance, the U.S. collects a 2.5% tariff on passenger car imports, while the EU charges 10%, India 70% and China 15%. On top of that, non-tariff barriers hinder U.S...
Today we are only witnessing the beginning of large-scale changes in US tariff policy
US trade policy has become increasingly securitized, intertwining economic objectives with national security priorities—from revitalizing domestic industry to combating drug trafficking.
