What Trump's Tariff Plans Mean for the Global Economy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- Since President Donald Trump first threatened to impose sweeping tariffs against China and US trading partners during his election campaign, companies and businesses have been bracing for impact. While his inaugural address stopped short of imposing tariffs on day one, Trump has issued fresh threats to Mexico, Canada and China, forcing investors and businesses to navigate an uncertain future as he continues to map out his plans.

The economy is grappling with uncertainties, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.
Things are strange right now. The US dollar is becoming less valuable because of inflation, but it's getting stronger compared to other currencies and things like gold and property. People are turning to the dollar because they think it's safer. I'm worried about my retirement savings of about $420,000 losing value because of high inflation. Where else can we keep our money?
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over a million dollars.
I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same but it seems you’ve got it all worked out with the firm you work with so i surely wouldn’t mind a recommendation.
I definitely share your sentiment about these firms. Finding financial advisors like “Jessica Dawn Walters” who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
Thank you so much for your helpful tip! I was able to verify the person and book a call session with her. She seems very proficient and I'm really grateful for your guidance
5:52 - “This is not a tax on other countries. This is a tax on you.”. Exactly.
But this makes your working hours better paid as local products become more competitive vs. imports
Of course, we need those Chinese 1$ dollar wages to manufacture anything...
@@Rei_n1 In what way? Are you profit sharing in your company? If not, they will just max their profit margin which likely means increases to their product because the competitor now costs more.
@@Rei_n1resources and supply chains aren't magic. There's tons of stuff that you gotta import because you can't grow or produce it locally. So businesses will have to eat those tariffs (assuming trade doesnt collapse) and then pass the tax onto consumers through higher prices.

"I love the poorly educated" - Donald J. Trump
If you believe in this poorly developed report, you are part of the 'poorly educated'.
Unfortunately, that's how you win votes. Ontario and Alberta are prime examples of this.
Education and intelligence are 2 different things.
@ Canada as a whole is an example of this. Look at the idiot we had as PM for nearly ten years. And the naivete of Canadians themselves thinking it normal to have a reporter for a finance minister and a drama queen for a PM? Worse; Canucks think it normal if a PM stays in power for ten years or more. We truly deserve the zogs we have in power. But we are going to pay for it soon enough.

I retired with 26 years of tariff administration experience in the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (formerly U.S. Customs Service). My job was to review/process the paperwork and collect the duties (tariffs) due on imported goods. When imported goods enter the Customs territory of the United States, duties are paid by the Importer of Record (IOR), which may be a corporation or an individual. NOTHING is paid by any foreign entity (manufacurer, shipper, or nation).
It discourages imports.
@@tbraghavendran It discourages imports the same way higher grocery prices discourage eating.
@@VanadiumBromide Tarrifs should go hand in hand with helping the companies open up their businesse in the USA, more employement and more money. It would mean higher prices in the short term, but it means also lower unemployement and better wages in the long term
I gather you have not figured out that this is all about to change?
You don’t have to work in tariff administrations to know that tariffs are paid by your own importers. Since those importers import based on demand, those tariffs ultimately are paid by the consumers.
Its shocking to see how the combination of a failed educational system, mental health care and online foreign interference has made the once greatest country on Earth be filled now with people who does not understand how any of these lies do not make sense.

All by design…
Tariffs are a Tax, Companies Not Countries Pay The Tariff Tax, That TAX is often passed along to the consumer.
It meant to aid local industries
@@emmanuelrufai6471 However it often hurts them more than it helps.
It's meant to be passed to American consumers!! It's supposed to stop Americans buying imported goods and products in favour of U.S made ones. But protectionism never works because it starts trade wars and retaliation. American export businesses will die.
@@whiskeygamesnerdstuff789That's false
@@emmanuelrufai6471How can you aid local avocado, coffee and chocolate industries when the US does not have the weather to produce these goods
6:08 “US imports about $450B of goods from China, but China only imports $150B of goods from US”… Yah, thats American consumerism at its finest for you
That only covers China. In 2023, US total exports were $3 trillion. That was a $396.4 billion increase from 2022.
So we import consumer goods from China but China imports agriculture products from us so I think it's a win although of course China can always outsource them somewhere else while we have to put off buying their electronics.
That’s because China is extremely protectionist and has a highly export oriented economy. They do not have a need, or rather it’s a deliberate policy choice, to import as many goods. The US was the same 100 plus years ago. I don’t think this says as much about US consumerism as you have implied
This guy is going to be the final nail in the coffin for us, fellow Americans. Whenever he forces a country to do what he says, and they refuse, he immediately bombards them with tarrifs as punishment. But in reality, the ones who will be paying for those ridiculous tarrifs are you and me. Every day, he's only making himself a target.
Sounds like the same lies in 2016 when he said “We are building a yuge wall and Mexico is going to pay for it”. In reality, we paid for wall and Mexico still sent over their migrants.

Okay so, americans can expect to pay a lot more for american cars now. Great. As if chinese cars werent already flooding the market.
America doesn’t have Chinese cars (esp EVs) because of the already existing tariffs
I dont think theres chinese cars in north america
Chinese car are not in North America period. Not to mention that most of them raises their price drastically the moment they are no longer in the Chinese market.
Why woild you buy an american car? I test drive em every time I go to buy, and have yet to find one that even begins to compare to toyota, nissan or bmw in the same price range or family
It’s to pressure car makers especially the big three to produce cars in the US. However this won’t make cars cheaper due to expensive labor rates.
I think the entire world should putt tariffs on all American imports, including services, RUclips, Netflix, Google, Amazon. We should do it at 35%, and dump the US Dollar immediately….
This is exactly whats going to happen when we talk about "Trade War"
Don’t forget meta (Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram) oh and Tesla, then finance too. That would enormous. Don’t forget petrodollar, if the dollar is dumped US debt and its payments would ruin the country quickly
That would just lead to us becoming self reliant faster. You need us, we don't need you. We have a tremendous amount of resources, including resource rich neighbors, a level of geographical isolation from Europe and Asia that ensure invasion is very unlikely, and the strongest military on the planet with the most armed citizenry on Earth. The US focusing on domestic issues is exactly what the American people want.

He’s using a defensive tactic as an offensive threat. Even all the way back in the 1600s, tariffs were used to keep countries from entering the global economy, not earn more money for yourself
I have never been interested in politics, but i have to admit, this is ridiculously entertaining.

What is entertaining is that you're being lied to by Bloomberg who work for China.
I can't believe how bad it is going to get (except I was expecting it to be completely horrible)
You'll be in an economic crisis by the end of the year and in a decade from now the USD won't be the reserve currency anymore. Mark my words. You're OK now but a lot can happen in a few short years.
If they want to be isolated, let’s help them. Then the regrets will flow like tears.
I would be more than happy to see the US isolate itself from the rest of the world. Might finally give them pause to think a bit when they slowly but surely become irrelevant on the world stage. BRICS consists of ten countries-Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates. It is considered to be a counterpart and alternative to the G7 bloc of the world's largest economies and combined represent nearly half of the world's population. Between BRICS and the rise of China, the US is losing it's superpower economic status quite quickly. After WW2 the US dollar reined supreme. That's when the average family cold buy a house or car on their regular wages. Those days have of course passed. But when BRICS moves away from the US dollar for trade, expect the house of cards to fall. All empires grow and fall. Been like that since recorded history.
how much regret is flowing out?🤣
Put your huge tariffs up we'll buy off your competitors instead! The US have nothing we can't get anywhere else!

Americans need to understand; they pay the tariffs. So inflation is going to up on imported products to the USA. How it is advantageous to the US?
Inflation has many sources. Regulations, Tariffs, Domestic Taxation, Energy Costs. They are all levers that one can pull and push. China has much lower wages and fewer regulations, thus why their goods are so cheap.
“Americans need to understand…”
Well, that’s a BIG ask! 😂

Still more expensive for the business driving cost up for all and still might be cheaper to import @@MM-hn6ig
@@MM-hn6ig except it takes years to change product streams, especially for heavy manufacturing, and unless you tax ALL countries , the importer just changes country of origin . This is terrible economics , when trump put tariffs on washing machines, it did increase jobs in the industry by around 1800 , at a cost of $800.000 per job. Consumers paid billions in extra costs just to support less than 2000 jobs. During the time the tariffs were in effect - February 2018 to February 2023 - the cost of laundry equipment rose by 34%, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Overall inflation was just 21% during the same time frame. The price of appliances overall rose by 23%. So laundry equipment rose by at least 11% more than it probably would have otherwise without the tariffs.The category “laundry equipment” includes both washers, which were subject to new import tariffs, and dryers, which were not. But the price of dryers rose by roughly the same amount as washers during the tariff period. That’s mainly because washers and dryers are often sold together as sets, with each unit priced the same. So higher prices for washers allowed manufacturers to raise dryer prices as well. During the first year the tariffs were in effect, the cost of washers and dryers both rose by about $90 per unit, or roughly 12%. All borne by the consumer.

The cost of tariffs is passed all along the supply chain to the end user.
It's a complex world and if the US puts tariffs like these on products, then those countries are going to route around the United States like they routed around russia.
And then 4 years when Trump is gone, those countries supply chains won't need the United States anymore.
It will be a painful transition, but it will be a semi-permanent transition.
Americans have companies outside the US, feeding labor for those specific countries, instead of our own. Profit drives these decisions and as long as the US companies depend on other nations for supply and labor, tariffs will never work

"100% of our products are made in China. The tariffs upended this." 5:40 That's what the tariffs were for.
What if they became 50% made in china and 50% made in Mexico?
Right, taxing imports doesn't necessarily bring back jobs to the US, especially since new factories are so automated with substantial education requirements for the few people hired.
That's why your items are more expensive, because China has the most hardworking people in the world, but the wages are very low. This is the fundamental reason why the price of goods is very low. Therefore, if you can find people who are more diligent and have lower wages than the Chinese in the mainland, then there may be low-priced goods. At the same time, in addition to these, China also has a complete industrial chain. The United States does not have these complete supply chains, including neighboring countries, including India and Vietnam, . It can have such an efficient industrial chain.
did trump forgot that the importer is actually the American company that import the goods?
He is senile and haven't noticed that for 30 years the US is a service provider not a manufacturing plataform.

With tariffs, the buying power of US consumer will be significantly reduced since they have to pay more to get the same goods compared buyers from other countries.

Or.. new jobs for all those extra civil servants (paid by the American tax payers) who will have to check all these creative ways to avoid tariffs.

>The United States used to be a manufacturing country. Since the end of the Second World War this changed from a manufacturing center to a consumer center. All governments since the end of that conflict have been increasing the national debt, all of which has devalued the US dollar to the point where, today, a US dollar is worth about three cents, yes three cents, compared with a 1971 US dollar. So, today all the consuming US public is consuming with devalued dollars, hence, the increase in the sticker price of all goods and services. We simply need more of these devalued dollars to buy anything.
>The plan by the current US government to install these tariffs is a distraction from the real problem which is the US debt and the devalued US dollar. Currently, the US debt to GDP ratio is well over 100% and so the only way to get this ratio down is either to pay down the debt or to increase the productivity of the nation. The former is out of the question; the second option will take maybe twenty to thirty years. The latter is not unrealistic since it really took over forty years to create this problem in the first place.
>With regard to the stated deficit in trade with Canada this is a complete falsehood. If one were to include services as well as goods, then the deficit would be dramatically altered. In addition, the US imports over four million barrels of oil each day. This oil is shipped at deep discounts which allows the US refineries to sell the finished product on the open market generating huge profits. The statements by the US President are misleading, incomplete and false. We are living in dangerous times. The last thing a leader ought to be doing is turning on its trusted and reliable ally. He will pay for this and so will the American people. Just wait until they go the grocery store or the gas station.
>This whole charade will not end well. Canada should immediately reform the inter-provincial trade barriers and should continue to forge new alliances around the world, including with China, India and the other BRICS nations. The US is in decline. The Americans do not appreciate what we, Canada, represent. Once the trust is broken it will never be restored. Canada should turn away from the whole misconception that the US is our friend and ally.
It is not!

Tariffs and deportations doesn't go along with each other. Because if Trump wants manufacturing back in the US you need a workforce. In this case cheap workforce to compete with China and others. This will play out catastrophic for the US economy and their citizens.

Ever since NAFTA went into effect in 1994, companies have moved manufacturing to Mexico with the aim of exporting goods to the US.
