Trump’s ‘America first’ trade policy - Economic & Political Weekly - 60(10), Mar 8, 2025: p.18-21

President Donald Trump’s “America First” trade policy poses a challenge to the global trading system that it has not faced since the end of World War II. Under the rubric of this trade policy, the US President has announced unilateral measures against several major economies, violating the WTO rules that were adopted to ensure orderly conduct of trade. President Trump announced enforcement of “reciprocal tariffs” against India, among others. He has signalled that India could be under pressure to reduce its agricultural tariffs, which could leave the country’s small farmers facing vastly unequal competition from American agri-businesses, causing immeasurable loss of rural livelihoods and incomes.- Reproduced
