  • Since his election, President-elect Donald Trump has outlined targeted tariff proposals aimed at addressing pressing international issues. The most successful relates to Canada and Mexico's responsibility for illegal immigration.

The article from MSN discusses how former President Donald Trump's proposal for targeted tariffs on imports from countries like China and Mexico has already shown signs of success, even before implementation. Trump's strategy aims to protect American industries by imposing tariffs on specific goods, which he believes will reduce the trade deficit and encourage domestic production. The article highlights that these proposals have led to a preemptive response from some countries, with China, for instance, showing interest in negotiating trade terms to avoid potential tariffs. This has sparked discussions on the effectiveness of using tariffs as leverage in international trade negotiations, suggesting that the mere threat of tariffs can influence trade behaviors and negotiations, thereby achieving some of Trump's economic goals without the actual imposition of the tariffs.
