U.S. Reciprocal TARIFFS 2025
Trade Disruption or Strategic Realignment?
Why Is the U.S. Reigniting Tariff Talks in 2025?
In response to the growing imbalance in international trade, former President Donald Trump has called for reciprocal tariffs. At the heart of this policy shift is the U.S. trade deficit, which hit a staggering USD 918 billion in 2024 – a 17% increase over 2023.
