The American elections are now over: Donald Trump is back in the White House. After a decisive victory, he plans to roll out an ambitious program for the United States, where the economy, energy sovereignty, and immigration management take center stage. Between increases in tariffs, tax cuts, and encouragement of domestic production, Trump wants to redraw the map of international exchanges. His plan in detail.
The elections in the USA: a return of Trump with a protectionist agenda
Key points of the trade measures:
- 10% tariffs on all imports;
- Tariffs reaching 200% for cars imported from Mexico;
- Gradual reduction of Chinese imports of technological products;
- Prohibition for Chinese companies to hold strategic real estate.
Donald Trump: an energy deregulation to reduce bills
In his perspective, more domestic energy means less dependence on imports and therefore, a stronger position against international price fluctuations of energy.
Economy: targeted tax cuts to boost purchasing power
However, these promises of tax cuts raise the question of national debt. Economists estimate that such a policy could increase federal debt, a risk that the Trump administration seems ready to take on.
