As global trade dynamics continue to evolve, tariffs have remained a hot topic of debate. On February 10, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump reinstated a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports, reigniting discussions that have been ongoing since 2018.
The United States is leveraging tariffs as a tool to address international trade issues, declaring them a \"panacea\" for resolving trade disputes. However, this aggressive stance raises important questions: What specific problems do these tariffs aim to solve? And by wielding the \"tariff card\" so assertively, is the U.S. fortifying its domestic industries or steering towards a perilous path of protectionism?
To uncover the economic realities behind these policies, CGTN invites viewers to tune in to the documentary 'The Tariff Boomerang' on February 11 at 7:30 p.m. BJT. The film promises to explore the true impact of tariffs on both the U.S. economy and global trade relations, offering insights that are crucial for understanding the future of international commerce.
