Why do Trump want to implement tariffs now? THE KEYS THE MOST TOUCH WAR IN HISTORY “

“The most silly commercial war in history.” This has called the ‘The Wall Street Journal’ the strategy that Trump has launched after announcing 25% tariffs for Canada and Mexico and 10% for China. And he doesn’t plan to stop there. He does what he promised in the campaign despite the fact that history has shown us many times that this does not benefit anyone. And that the consequences will all pay.

Trump begins on Monday a war that has made several questions arise among experts because in his tariff battle their intentions are not entirely clear. Nor what the new president may interest the most, that is, whether or not to win.

So, Can Trump win? “Neither Trump nor any, they end up losing. They will not get it if other countries respond in the same way. Tariff escalation. You can only win if the threats remain in threats and nobody responds,” explains Massimo Cermelli, professor of economy at the University of Deusto.

But the reality is that the answers, except for Mexico, have not taken long to arrive. Canada and China have already replicated They will answer with tariffs. Among economists it seems that there is consensus, which leads us to ask us another question: what then does Trump intend?

Because according to experts it intends get benefits and want to use it as a negotiating weapon. But reality for Americans can be another. Experts warn: Trump can last for years this harmful situation for all, but for how long.

A context that generates distrust

The uncertainty stalks all bags in the world and markets are already practically red against the new commercial that Trump begins. A war without weapons that leads us to a paradigm shift. A historical turn is produced in the economic. For the first time, Trump throws himself for all, not just enemies. Also for his so far neighbors, partners and allies: Canada or Mexico.

And not only that, but he has also put the focus on Europe. “Am I going to impose tariffs on the European Union? Absolutely. The European Union has treated us terribly,” explains Trump. The US president who has generated the reaction of the rest. “No one wins in a tariff war. The EU has elements to defend itself, “says Albares.

Contrataques not only from Spain, but from Germany Olaf Scholz ensures that “We can respond to customs policy with more customs policy.” And from Mexico, its president launches a warning: “It has very serious effects for the US economy. Well, you will raise the costs very much of all the products that are exported from Mexico.”

The main economic means of the world call this trade war absurd and silly. Also as a shock for the global economy. Moreover, Trump himself is aware that he will affect the pocket of Americans: “We may have some short -term pain And people understand it. “

Trump asks to consume national products and along the same lines, the Prime Minister of Canada: “It is time to choose Canada, to review the labels in the supermarket and choose products manufactured in Canada.” A commercial war that makes it begin again to emerge economic nationalism.
