Customs duties, non-tariff barriers, retaliatory measures: the words of protectionism

Greenland trip, trade war, customs hammer: US President Trump tries to impose America's interests ruthlessly. Why he will fail.

The U.S. economic partners are preparing their response before the announced new customs duties by Donald Trump on Wednesday, who promised to be "kind", leaving doubt on the scale of this new phase of his trade war.

Donald Trump's new mandate is turning the world upside down. So far there have been three sharp changes. The first is the new protectionism; we are witnessing the first measures of a tariff war that will be detrimental to all parties.

The trade war initiated by US President Donald Trump against its economic partners is disrupting the world economy. New rules are in place for trade in goods and services between countries. Lexicon to better analyze and understand the debate.

Marc Ferracci, Minister of Industry, regrets this new taxation imposed by Donald Trump and these new tariffs of 25%. A "trade war that will only make losers" according to him.
