Washington:

US President Donald Trump has announced plans to expand his trade war by introducing reciprocal tariffs, a move that could impact countries worldwide. Trump’s latest tariff threat aims to impose equal tariffs on imports from countries that already impose tariffs on US products.

This new strategy, which Trump stated would apply to “every country,” has raised concerns about potential inflation and its impact on emerging market economies.

– Understanding Reciprocal Tariffs –

Reciprocal tariffs involve imposing taxes on imported goods from other countries. Trump’s promise of “an eye for an eye, a tariff for a tariff, same exact amount” during his campaign suggests a policy of matching tariffs with those imposed by other nations.

“Every country will be reciprocal,” Trump stated, with further details expected to be revealed in a news conference scheduled for Thursday afternoon.

Analysts predict that implementing reciprocal tariffs could result in an increase in import rates to match the levels set by other countries for US products.

Goldman Sachs analysts anticipate that adopting this approach could raise the average US tariff rate by around two percentage points.

However, focusing on specific products could complicate the process. While the US has relatively low average tariffs, it faces higher rates in sensitive sectors such as apparel, sugar, and pick-up trucks.

– Potential Impact on Countries –

Reciprocal tariffs may lead to a widespread tariff increase for emerging market economies that have high duties on US goods, according to JPMorgan analysts. Countries like India and Thailand, which impose higher average tariff rates than the US, could be significantly impacted.

Trump’s criticism of India’s trade practices and its high tariffs has drawn attention to the potential consequences of reciprocal tariffs.

It is important to consider that poorer nations often use high tariffs for revenue and protection, as they lack resources to implement non-tariff barriers.

– Addressing Complications –

The Trump administration’s approach to reciprocal tariffs remains uncertain. It is unclear whether this policy is an alternative to the universal tariff proposed during the campaign or a separate strategy.

There are concerns that reciprocal tariffs could be used to tackle non-tariff issues, such as value-added taxes (VATs). This could significantly impact the effective tariff rate and complicate trade relations.

– Objectives of Reciprocal Tariffs –

Creating uncertainty as a negotiating tactic is one of the goals of reciprocal tariffs. However, this uncertainty can pose challenges for businesses operating in an unpredictable trade environment.

The US may have economic and geopolitical motives for pursuing reciprocal tariffs, including addressing issues like the conflict in Ukraine and expanding exports in sectors like liquefied natural gas (LNG).

– Considerations for the Future –

As the US considers implementing reciprocal tariffs, it may need to reduce its general tariff rates on goods from numerous countries to achieve true reciprocity. This could have implications for trade relations with various nations.
