Limitations of Trump’s Tariff Strategy on China: Lessons for India
Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff strategy against China aimed to curb trade imbalances but revealed significant limitations. Despite initial harsh tariffs, recent tone-downs suggest that such aggressive economic measures do not guarantee a lasting resolution to trade tensions. Flare-ups may continue, reflecting the complexity of global trade and geopolitical rivalries.
For India, with its large and growing domestic economy, these developments offer important lessons. Standing firm against external economic pressures—often perceived as “bullying”—could be crucial in navigating the shifting global trade landscape. India’s resilience and self-reliance could help it withstand and counteract protectionist moves, safeguarding its economic interests.
Trump’s evolving stance signals that negotiation, strategic firmness, and diversification of trade partnerships might be more effective than confrontational tariff wars. India can draw from these cues to strengthen its trade policies amid uncertain global economic winds.
