Trump defends tariffs as cure for US trade deficit
US President Donald Trump has made a bold new claim. The recently introduced trade tariffs are the only remedy for America’s massive financial deficit with China and the European Union. So perhaps the global backlash against tariffs is misplaced. After all, Trump insists they are for everyone’s benefit. He also confirmed that the tariffs would remain in place, signaling that the world may need to adjust to this new economic reality.
On social media, the president pointed out that the US trade surplus with most countries increased during Biden’s presidency. However, Trump says he is ready to reverse that trend. To do so, he rolled out sweeping tariffs, which he described as a “very beautiful thing” for America.
His post came shortly after he told reporters that resolving the US trade deficit with China is his top priority, and without a solution, a deal with Beijing would not even be on the table.
Trump claimed he had no intention of crashing the markets. Still, he remains firm in his belief that the tariffs are the “medicine” global trade needs.
Not everyone agrees. Markets are in turmoil amid fears that Trump’s tariffs could cause serious economic damage. The duties turned out to be much harsher than anticipated, triggering trillions of dollars in losses over the last two trading sessions. On April 6, US stock futures plummeted. As a result, analysts and investors braced for a so-called “Black Monday,” anticipating a steep sell-off across global markets. While the situation is far from optimistic, it has not yet ballooned into catastrophe.
Over the past week alone, Trump’s tariffs have wiped out an estimated $4 trillion from global equity markets. China was hit hardest, but Beijing responded swiftly with a round of retaliatory measures. European leaders are also preparing their countermeasures in response to Washington’s escalating trade war.
