Trump's Trade Agreements Impact the Economies of Many Countries

• Trump has reached agreements with countries, raising tariffs on imports
• The EU and other countries express unprecedented opposition to the agreements
• Inflation is starting to rise due to the new tariffs

President of the USA Donald Trump has achieved significant success in his trade policy, the consequences of which have already been felt in the economies of many countries. In particular, on September 1, 2025, new tariffs will come into effect, which are aimed at raising import duties on goods from various countries, including from the European Union.

The European Union, striving to prevent an escalation of the conflict, is relying on unilateral measures, including raising tariffs on its own goods and expenditures on American energy and military products. This has sparked unprecedented opposition among European leaders, including the Prime Minister of France, who characterized this agreement as a "dark day" for the EU.

Additionally, Trump has concluded agreements with the Philippines and Indonesia, which foresee significant tariffs on their goods. This creates difficulties for the economies of these countries, which are focused on exports, hindered by American corporations.

Despite the fact that economic indicators in the USA remain stable, including an increase in consumer spending and employment in the labor market, signs are beginning to emerge that raising tariffs could lead to inflation in key sectors. Many retailers, such as Walmart, plan to raise prices due to new tariffs.

At the same time, trade negotiations with Canada and China are facing difficulties, and uncertainty regarding future agreements continues to grow. Trump continues to threaten raising tariffs on Canadian goods, which may lead to increased costs for American consumers.

In the event that courts declare the majority of tariffs illegal, Trump may lose the ability to establish tariffs without Congressional approval, which would also affect his trade policy.
