Donald Trump is reshaping international trade rules during his second term. Shortly after taking office, he swiftly implemented a sweeping array of tariff policies: a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, a 10% tariff on Chinese imports, alongside 25% tariffs on aluminum and steel. The latest tariff proposal further targets all foreign-made automobile imports, seeking to impose a 25% duty.
