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].

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].

1. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION & PRESIDENTIAL AUTHORITY

1.1 Constitutional Boundaries & Executive Powers

President Trump has explicitly stated he is “not joking” about seeking a third presidential term, despite constitutional limitations [1][2]. Multiple news sources report Trump saying there are “methods” for serving beyond the two-term limit [3]. This position directly challenges established constitutional precedent. Trump has increasingly sought Supreme Court intervention to overrule judges blocking parts of his agenda [4], and recent executive orders have created confusion, particularly regarding the 2026 federal election cycle [5].
