Trump’s Tariff Policies: A Retrospective Analysis

President Donald Trump's tariff policies during his first term have been a focal point of economic discussions, with a recent White House article affirming their effectiveness. The article, published on April 4, 2025, claims that tariffs have bolstered American industries and job creation, citing specific examples from the steel and aluminum sectors.

The New York Times, on April 1, 2025, analyzed the economic implications of Trump's trade war through a game theory lens, suggesting that while some sectors benefited, the overall impact on global trade relations was complex and often detrimental. The analysis highlighted how retaliatory tariffs from other countries affected U.S. exporters.

The Guardian provided a comprehensive timeline on April 2, 2025, detailing key announcements and events related to Trump's tariff policies. This timeline underscores the escalation of trade tensions, particularly with China, and the subsequent negotiations that followed.

The Wall Street Journal's live coverage on April 2, 2025, further explored the stock market's reaction to Trump's tariffs. The report emphasized that while certain industries saw immediate gains, the broader market experienced volatility due to uncertainties in international trade dynamics.
