Donald Trump has signed an order to impose tariffs imports into the U.S. from countries including China, Mexico and Canada.

Global Tariffs

US President Donald Trump has introduced new tariffs on Chinese imports, reversing a recent period of reduced trade tensions between the two countries. The decision comes after China imposed restrictions on the export of rare earth minerals, which are crucial for various technologies, requiring foreign companies to obtain special approval before shipping them abroad.

Trump accused China of using these restrictions to hold the world captive, leading to a negative reaction in financial markets and warnings from experts about the volatility of such trade policies. While the move has unsettled global markets, public reaction in China has been largely indifferent, with many expressing confidence in their country's ability to withstand US measures. Trump is scheduled to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at an upcoming summit in South Korea, with no changes announced to the meeting plans.

Trump reaviva la guerra comercial entre EEUU y China con nuevos aranceles

Tras seis meses de relativa calma en el frente comercial, Estados Unidos y China vuelven a estar enfrentados. De un plumazo, la última promesa de Donald Trump de imponer fuertes aranceles, ha hecho añicos la distensión de este verano, alcanzada a través de una diplomacia laboriosa. El presidente estadounidense dice que su mano fue forzada. Golpearon al mundo con algo que realmente no es algo que la gente vaya a hacer. Y fue impactante. Eso fue de la nada, ¿verdad? De la nada se les ocurrió todo este concepto de importación-exportación y nadie sabía nada al respecto. Trump se refería a la decisión de China de limitar las exportaciones de minerales de tierras raras, exigiendo a las empresas extranjeras que obtengan una aprobación especial antes de enviarlos al extranjero. Acusó a Pekín de mantener cautivo al mundo restringiendo el acceso a los metales e imanes utilizados en electrónica, chips informáticos y otras tecnologías. Pero sus comentarios hicieron caer las acciones, como lo hicieron en abril, la última vez que Trump amenazó con tales aranceles punitivos. Y los expertos financieros están advirtiendo de las consecuencias de un enfoque tan volátil de la política. Tenemos una política por la mañana, otra diferente por la tarde y una tercera por la noche. China funciona de una manera completamente diferente. Espero que los EE.UU. puedan volver a pensar a largo plazo y a la diplomacia y la negociación con China. en lugar de este unilateralismo y esta improvisación. Y la improvisación de Trump parece no estar teniendo el efecto deseado en las calles de Pekín, donde la reacción parece ser un encogimiento colectivo de hombros. No sentí nada cuando vi la noticia por primera vez. Porque para ser honesto, Trump siempre tiene estas políticas infantiles o caprichosas. Para nosotros, realmente ya no sentimos nada. Porque China no teme ninguna sanción o política de EE.UU. destinada a limitarnos. Tenemos la confianza y la capacidad de hacerlo mejor nosotros mismos. No puedes no prestar atención a esta noticia, pero sinceramente, no es la primera vez, así que tendremos que esperar y ver exactamente cómo se desarrollan las cosas. Trump estará esperando que el gobierno chino esté más preocupado. Tiene previsto reunirse con el presidente Xi Jinping en una próxima cumbre en Corea del Sur, y el presidente de EE.UU. dice que aún no ha cancelado el compromiso.
