Under President Trump’s leadership, a new U.S.-China trade war has officially begun. Just after signing an order to impose a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada and a 10% tariff on China—originally set to take effect on February 4—Trump abruptly halted the measure, delaying its implementation by at least 30 days. This move temporarily averted an imminent trade war in North America. Meanwhile, China swiftly responded by imposing retaliatory tariffs of 10% to 15% on certain U.S. imports starting February 10, targeting coal, natural gas, and large-engine vehicles. How will Trump’s tariff policies shape global political dynamics? (Recorded on Feb. 4)
