Trump Administration Signals Continued Use of Tariffs Amid Trade Negotiation Deadlines
As trade deal deadlines approach, a senior adviser to former U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed that tariffs imposed during his previous term are likely to remain in place if he returns to office. The comments come amid heightened global focus on the future of U.S. trade policy, particularly as major trading partners brace for the outcome of the upcoming U.S. election.
Speaking to reporters, the adviser emphasized that the tariffs—originally introduced to pressure countries like China and protect American industries—would continue to be a central tool in any future Trump administration’s economic strategy. These tariffs were a hallmark of Trump’s trade policy, aimed at reshaping global supply chains and addressing long-standing trade imbalances.
While some economists have argued that the tariffs have led to increased costs for American businesses and consumers, Trump’s team maintains they are necessary to secure fairer deals and reduce reliance on foreign manufacturing.
As global markets watch closely, analysts warn that the continuation of tariffs could significantly affect international trade dynamics and global economic recovery.
