Week 6 - Apply: Summative Assessment: International Trade Evaluation
Trade policy in the United States as various policies regarding international trade continue to change in the United States, and multinational corporations must mitigate the risks emanating from non-compliance of these regulations. Such measures to mitigate the risks include
ensuring that their shipments and commodities exported to the United States comply with trade policies. Trade policy in the U.S has varied dramatically over the past several years and in different administrations. Over the past two years, the United States trade policy has been continually changing, thus culminating in uncertainties about the future of some multinational enterprises that largely depend on the United States market. For instance, “President Trump’s trade policy, laid out in his Trade Policy Agenda of both 2018 and 2019, is much more aggressive than those of his predecessors” (Mildner & Jansen, 2020, par.6). According to a recent change in trade policy, there no need to conduct trade that makes international competitors
stronger or weaken the economic status of the United States.
For this reason, many multinational corporations have been accorded limited access to the United States market. This has resulted in a number of adverse effects to these multinational corporations, including dwindling profits. Further, as informed by Mildner and Jansen (2020), there has been aggressive enforcement of the United States trade law over the past two years. This enforcement is aimed at eradicating trade practices that are considered unfair. By utilizing such trade law, the U.S imposed trade policy changes that led to strict quotas and tariff over countries that deny the United States her rights to free trade. This has led to a significant effect that has resulted in huge losses on multinational corporations. For instance, the Trump administration over the past two years has implemented a total of 232 tariff on aluminium and
steel as well as the imports from China thus significantly impacting multinational corporations (Mildner & Jansen, 2020).
As informed by the Wall Street Journal, most credible economists are pessimists “that the
current administration’s trade and tariff policy change will have long-term economic benefits” (Torry, 2019, par.1). In the latest survey conducted, nearly 73% of economists do not anticipate any long term gain from the trade and tariff policies changes. They broadly state that the most potential impact on the long-term emanating from trade disputes from Mexico and China, which have resulted from the trade and tariff policy change imposed by the U.S government will be uncertainty for businesses, consumers, and financial marketers. This is primarily because such tariff raises the prices of commodities and also reduces the availability of various goods in the United States market significantly. Further, these trade and tariff policies change will adversely impact the consumers in the essence that there will be reduced employment and lower-income (Torry, 2019).
Additionally, credible economists believe that the long term effects of trade and tariff policies change will be detrimental to the country’s economic status in the long-term. According to York (2018), “
the effects of each tariff will be lower GDP, wages, and employment in the long
run. The tariff will also make the U.S. tax code less progressive because the increased tax burden
would fall hardest on lower- and middle-income households” (par.6). Notably, tariff achieve this effect through a few channels, including the passing of tariff to consumers and producers in the form of elevated prices of various items that are imported. This higher prices emanating from a tariff will ultimately lower the value of after-tax of both capital and labour income. This will make the American business persons invest and work less, thus resulting in lower outputs (York, 2018).

Case: Moving U.S. White-Collar Jobs Offshore Economists have long argued that free trade produces gains for all countries that participate in a free trading system, but as the next wave of globalization sweeps through the U.S. economy, many people are wondering if this is true, particularly those who stand to lose their jobs because of this wave of globalization. In the popular imagination for much of the past quarter century, free trade was associated with the movement of low-skill, blue-collar manufacturing jobs out of rich countries such as the United States and toward low-wage countries—textiles to Costa Rica, athletic shoes to the Philippines, steel to Brazil, electronic products to Malaysia, and so on. While many observers bemoaned the “hollowing out” of U.S. manufacturing, economists stated that high-skilled and high-wage white-collar jobs associated with the knowledge-based economy would stay in the United States. Computers might be assembled in Malaysia, so the argument went,…

The historic debate about the benefits and costs of trade liberalization (freer trade) continues today after centuries, and the pendulum of popular sentiment is swinging again. It was once seditious to talk of free trade with other nations, but in more recent times the world has moved to lower barriers -up until mid-2018, when protectionism rose again.
Clearly IDENTIFY one issue within the trade debate where two organizations differ on their stances about whether free trade is good or bad for society as a whole.

International trade policies: International trade policies refer to measures aimed at regulating the flow of goods and services between countries. In the case of a severe negative supply shock, the government may impose trade restrictions to limit the outflow of key inputs or to protect domestic producers. However, this can lead to higher prices for consumers and retaliation from trading partners, which can harm exports and further reduce supply.
Explain with a graph please.
