The global response to US-initiated tariffs reveals a broader transformation in the international political economy, characterised by growing regionalism and a focus on economic self-reliance.

Since taking office, President Donald Trump's tariff measures have stirred global financial markets and economic uncertainty.

America levied a simple average tariff of just 3.3% in 2023, lower than 5% in the eu and 3.8% in Britain. Poor countries tend to have higher levies. That does not mean America is a victim.

The tariffs are the steepest since the 1930s. Whether world trade collapses, like it did then, depends on whether other countries retaliate and Trump negotiates.
