The Trump Trade Trap takes readers on an incisive journey through the dramatic upheaval of global trade under Trump’s 'America First' doctrine. From tearing apart multilateral agreements to imposing aggressive tariffs on allies and adversaries alike, Trump’s trade wars jolted global markets, redefined U.S.-China relations, and disrupted international supply chains.This book dives deep into the key policies, market reactions, and political motivations that fueled a new era of economic nationalism. Through vivid case studies and expert analysis, it unpacks the far-reaching consequences for investors, emerging economies, and everyday citizens. Was it strategy or chaos? National revival or global risk?Perfect for readers of political economy, international relations, and modern history, The Trump Trade Trap is a gripping exposé of how one leader’s vision reshaped the global economic order-and what it means for the future.
