1. ECONOMIC AND TRADE POLICY

1.1 Market Impact and International Response

Trump’s tariff implementation has triggered immediate market consequences, with the S&P 500 losing approximately $5.4 trillion in value over just two days [1] and tech megacaps losing $1.8 trillion in the same period [2]. Major tech leaders face personal wealth reductions exceeding $23 billion each [3]. China has responded with 34% retaliatory levies on U.S. imports [1], particularly targeting American farm goods like soybeans, benefiting Brazilian exporters [4]. Tourism to the United States is reportedly declining [5], while Germany is reportedly considering withdrawing its 1,200-ton gold stockpile from the US in response to tariff policies [6].

1. ECONOMIC & TRADE POLICY

1.1 Tariff Implementation & Strategy

The administration’s tariff strategy is causing significant market turbulence, with President Trump urging Americans to “hang tough” through the adjustment period [1]. This approach, characterized as a “high-stakes tariff gambit” [2], is receiving support from congressional allies like GOP Senator Mullin, who argues presidential authority on tariffs is necessary because “Congress is slow” [3]. Market participants are already responding strategically, with some companies attempting to replicate “Apple’s playbook” to circumvent the new measures [4]. The policy appears aimed at revitalizing domestic industries, with supporters like a U.S. shrimper noting that “94% of our shrimp [is] imported” [5]. Defenders question why “other countries seem to like tariffs” while Trump’s implementation faces criticism [6], suggesting potential significant benefits “if Trump’s tariffs work” [7].

1. ECONOMIC & TRADE POLICY

Tariffs and International Retaliation

The Trump administration has implemented tariffs characterized as the largest tax hike since 1942 without congressional approval[1]. China has responded decisively, imposing a uniform 34% tariff on all U.S. imports effective April 10[2]. Reporting indicates U.S. tariff rates will exceed Smoot-Hawley levels from the Great Depression era[3]. The White House’s tariff calculation methods have been criticized as “bizarre”[4], while tariff exemptions for major oil industry donors have drawn accusations of “oligarchy”[5].

Executive Orders & Personnel Changes

The Trump administration’s budget initiatives are advancing through Congress, with Republicans preparing for “marathon Senate votes” [1]. Significant leadership changes have occurred at the National Security Agency, with Trump firing NSA Director General Haugh [2] and appointing a new acting director and deputy to replace Biden appointees [3]. National Security Council staffers have reportedly been fired in connection with a “Signal Chat Fallout” [4].

Area 1: TRADE AND ECONOMIC POLICY

Topic 1.1: Tariff Implementation and Structure

The Trump administration’s sweeping tariffs have shown peculiar implementation patterns. Russia was conspicuously absent from the countries subject to tariffs [1], while uninhabited territories were oddly included [2]. The formula for calculating tariffs has been revealed to be based on trade deficits rather than reciprocal rates [3]. The administration has also ended de minimis treatment for goods from China and Hong Kong [4].

Area 1: Trade and Economic Policy

Trump’s Tariff Implementation

The Trump administration has implemented “reciprocal tariffs” described as a “Declaration of Economic Independence” [1] and “Liberation Day” [2]. These tariffs impose at least 10% charge on most imports, calculated to match approximately half of what other countries charge on U.S. goods [1]. The administration has published detailed calculations justifying these rates [3]. Vice President Vance frames this as America pushing back against being treated as “the world’s piggy bank” [4]. Some congressional Republicans have voted to halt taxes on Canadian imports [5], while certain Democratic representatives have expressed willingness to work with Trump on parts of the tariff strategy [6].
