Question:
With the election of Donald Trump, the United States, and indeed the world, has entered into a new era of trade policy and perspectives on the effects of trade. Trump promised a more US-centric (protectionist) approach to trade, and so far he has provided it. He has triggered a re-negotiation of NAFTA, pulled the US out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP), has imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports into the US, and on a wide variety of Chinese made imports. He believes this will benefit US workers in the manufacturing sector, many of whom believe they have been left behind by globalization.
