Trump Stands Firm on Tariffs as Global Stock Markets Decline

in Tariffs & Duties

US President Donald Trump has remained resolute in his stance on the tariffs, dismissing concerns over the market turmoil they have caused. While global stocks continue to experience significant losses, Trump likened the tariffs to “medicine,” arguing that the measures were necessary to address long-standing trade imbalances.

Trump emphasized his position on the so-called “reciprocal tariffs,” stating that he would not back down unless other countries adjusted their trade policies to balance trade with the United States. He asserted that the US had been mistreated by other nations in past trade agreements, leading to the loss of American businesses, jobs, and money.

What’s Next for Trump’s Tariff Strategy?

The global stock market has been in a sharp decline, with Taiwan’s TAIEX and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng both dropping about 10 percent. Other major Asian markets such as Japan’s Nikkei 225, Singapore’s Straits Times Index, South Korea’s KOSPI, and Australia’s ASX 200 also saw significant losses. US stock futures indicate further losses when Wall Street reopens, continuing a two-day downturn that wiped out over $6 trillion in market value.

On the tariff front, the US began imposing a 10 percent baseline tariff on imports, with additional higher duties of 11 to 50 percent scheduled to take effect on Wednesday. These tariffs are set to target both US rivals and allies, including China, which faces a 34 percent tariff, while the European Union, Japan, and South Korea face tariffs between 20 and 25 percent.

In response to the US tariffs, China announced retaliatory measures, including a 34 percent tariff on all US imports and restrictions on some critical minerals. The European Union is preparing its own list of US imports to target with higher duties. Despite these measures, Trump has expressed willingness to negotiate with China, but emphasized that any agreement would depend on China eliminating its trade surplus with the US.

Other US trading partners, including the United Kingdom, Australia, Indonesia, and Taiwan, have not yet enacted retaliatory measures. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to discuss the tariff issue with Trump during his upcoming visit to the White House.

The escalating trade tensions have led analysts to raise concerns about the potential for a US recession within the next year. JPMorgan has increased the likelihood of a US recession to 60 percent, while S&P Global estimates the probability at 30 to 35 percent. Some economists argue that the disruptive impact of the US’s trade policies could lead to a global economic downturn.

Despite the market upheaval, Trump administration officials have downplayed the risk of a recession, arguing that the long-term economic benefits of these trade measures will outweigh the short-term challenges.
