The Pros And Cons Of Donald Trump's Trade Protectionism

Donald Trump is not doing good as president. Some may still believe he is doing good for our country, but the facts will change their opinion. This argument can be proved based on the facts that are in the news everyday. The news shows articles about him firing multiple people in the white house, his insensitive attitude to important things happening in our country, and him degrading women. People are not happy with Donald Trump’s presidency, and the hatred for Trump continues to grow by his actions.

Trade is an important transfer that is vital to the abundance of a country. International trade allows countries to exchange their goods and can improve their economies. Many businesses within the United States dislike international imports because they reduce their business within the U.S. Some people believe business can be improved within the United States by imposing tariffs on imports. Tariffs are taxes on imported goods from other countries. Others who favor international trade believe it’s beneficial to establish trade agreements. One trade agreement is NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, which President George H.W. Bush signed on December 8th, 1993. The treaty included the countries Canada, Mexico, and the United States, and intertwined all of their economies. It eliminated most of the tariffs between the three countries and installed a supply chain, which is a network where different countries make specific parts of a product. Recently, President Trump has proposed that NAFTA be abolished, to promote products manufactured in the United States. This recent situation relates to the issue of the tariffs at the Philadelphia Convention. At the time of the convention, the Northern states’ economy was based on manufacturing, so they wanted to impose tariffs to promote American products. The South’s economy was agricultural based, and exported many goods to Great Britain. So Southerners feared that if tariffs were imposed on Britain’s goods, then Britain would do the same on products from the South, which would negatively affect the South’s economy. Trade can be very beneficial to a country, but states can have different opinions on whether tariffs are necessary, depending

There was a group of fighters together each known for their roles they did. We have Dr. Medi Magica who treats her team members when they are sick or get hurt. Ms. Adventurer comes up with the places for the team to go for the fight when a token glimmers over her head. She has her own weapons.

In June of 1930, the Tariff Act, also known as the Smoot-Hawley trade bill was signed into law by President Hoover and increased U.S. tariffs by more than 50 percent on some 3,200 products (Gwartney, Stroup, Sobel and Macpherson, 2015). The Tariff Act was intended to increase tariffs on agricultural products, but by the time it was signed into law, the bill was one of the largest tariff increases in U.S. history. The Tariff Act was designed to protect farmers and other American businesses against massive imports following WWI. Many argued the excessive measures of the Tariff Act, added a considerable amount of strain to the international economic climate of the Great Depression, and although it did not cause it (Great Depression) it undeniably

In 2016 Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in the presidential race to become the president of the united states. Including the likes of Zachary Taylor, Ulysses S. Grant, Herbert Hoover, and Dwight D. Eisenhower, Donald Trump is one of five presidents that has never been elected to public office before becoming President. Instead, Donald Trump gained majority of his notoriety for being a businessman, real estate developer, and former reality tv star. During his presidential race, it was clear the Donald Trump would be like no other president. During the elections

With all the research and reviews on Trade Agreements, it has been interesting to read that the U.S. President, Donald Trump continues to baffle the world including the Republican Party, over how he plans to honor his campaign elected political agenda, which vowed to scrap away years of American Trade Policies, with hopes of reestablishing domestic manufacturing jobs. Subsequently, Allegations streamed from the president’s cabinet that provided insights on his the plans not to go forth with renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), yet in March, 2017, the president changes directions to revamp the so called “job-killing disaster” policy for a more favorable US deal instead – this on-again, off-again, flip-flop behavior appears uneventful, to say the least.

Donald Trump was elected president of the United States of America on November 8th, 2016, and now has been running our country for over a year. As Trump’s first year in office slowly began, his reputation seems to be creating different outside views of our nation and arguments started producing everywhere. After competing with Hillary Clinton for the presidential term in office, Trump defeated her along with her democratic supporters causing one of the most shocking elections in U.S. history. Using public media web pages, we are reviewing both sides of the argument regarding Trump’s election and we are going to decipher why each arguer supports their side, and why each side is reasonable for the benefit of our country.

Have you ever felt the entire world stop for a second, but it feels like a millennium? That feeling can be described when Donald Trump was officially elected as President of the United States of America. It has almost been a year since and the words still sound laughable. It is kind of crazy to see the multi-million-dollar business become the president. He had no knowledge of any of the rules and politics and he used white supremacy as his foundation of his campaign. It seems weird that America voted him as president. The media had a feeding frenzy over him winning. Everyone had an opinion. Its was massive. Everyone was in shock and are still in shock with all the things he is getting away with. Nevertheless, major newspapers wrote about the election of Donald Trump the day before and after following the presidential elections. It has been chaotic.

First, he wants to “appoint the toughest and smallest trade negotiators to fight on behalf of American workers.(Fernandez 1). Mr. Trump wants to understand and see where the American workers’ jobs are going. Furthermore, he wants to note why millions of Americans don’t have jobs and who are taking them away. To do that he has to first renegotiate NAFTA or get rid of it (Fernandez 2).What is NAFTA and what mess it is creating? Basically, a trade agreement between the USA, Mexico and Canada formed by Bill Clinton, and it has let many Americans without jobs because most of them have gone to Mexico. That is the main reason Donald J. Trump hates this agreement and how it has destroyed the United States economy to bits and pieces. Additionally, what makes Trump fierce is that China has been stealing American trade secrets for many years. He clearly stated, “If China does not stop its illegal activities, including its theft of American trade secrets, I will use every lawful presidential power to remedy trade disputes, including the application of tariffs consistent with Section 201 and 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 and Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962” (Fernandez 3). Clearly, this shows that Trump is serious about his job and doesn’t care if he is dealing with China. China has been stealing all our trade secrets and Barack Obama didn’t do anything about it. In brief, this clearly shows that our future President has the characteristics and personality of a true leader that is ready for this great battle.

Managing the how goods and services enter or leave this country (import/export) is an important process that allows for us to control the economic status of our nation. Sometimes imposing tariffs on the goods imported balances our labor cost, resources and government supported industry. A tariff by definition is a tax or duty to be paid on a particular class of imports or exports.

Islam religion of violence at least that is what some Americans might think after the 9/11 attack in the American soil. This has led to the hate of Muslim in our society, who face prejudice and discrimination in their lives since then .Therefore, Americans should try not to stereotype Muslims as a violent religion because, it is important to realize that not all Muslims are terrorist and it is the few individual who uses the religion as a shield for their violent act.

Art is something I couldn’t live without. I was never involved in anything. I never played sports and I was never active in clubs, so when I came to the realization of being interested in art, it was so exciting. I knew I would never be good at anything like sports, opposite my brothers. Both of my brothers had played football and basketball from their days in elementary school to high school. It just wasn’t the “thing” for me. Recently, I went to Art Club just to check it out and see what it was like. Consequently, I fell in love. Now, I can’t imagine my life without art. Since joining this club, I have become more creative, made more friends, and spread my horizons. Art has showed me what type of person I am and has made me grow as an artist and person.

In the Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith talks about international trade and subsequent government policies which became increasingly significant throughout modern history. Protectionism is the term for economic policies of restraining trade between countries when they want to protect their domestic industries from foreign competition. Trades nowadays have different forms and methods and involve more businessmen as well as consumers, which is why trade diplomats are looking to regional agreements. The US experienced two major economic declines during the 20th century, both of which had much to do with international trade. Smith mentioned tariffs in the 18th century, but the role and forms of protectionism have changed across time, so we should know whether the development of economy should actually be correlated with or decided by the political sector of the society and when protectionism will benefit or hurt economy.

One of the greatest international economic debates of all time has been the issue of free trade versus protectionism. Proponents of free trade believe in opening the global market, with as few restrictions on trade as possible. Proponents of protectionism believe in concentrating on the welfare of the domestic economy by limiting the open-market policy of the United States. However, what effects does this policy have for the international market and the other respective countries in this market? The question is not as complex as it may seem. Both sides have strong opinions representing their respective viewpoints, and even the population of the United States is divided when it comes to taking a stand in

Realism, liberalism, and Marxism are all different perspectives that can be used to analyze situations and aid government officials to understandings and agreements in relation to trade. Lawrence Herman 's article focusses on the potential destruction of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) caused by the disturbing and unacceptable proposals by the United States president, Donald Trump. There are many different views on Free trade but three main perspectives are the realist views, which claim that all nation-states have to rely upon their own resources and security and act in pursuit of their struggle for power and self-interest, liberal views, which approve of free trade, and lastly, through Karl Marx’s theory of Marxism.
