US-China Trade War Looming, Warns Eurasia Group Founder Ian Bremmer at Davos

Trump's first day back at the White House was marked by a delay in his major economic initiative, tariffs. While experts warned that major trade actions are still likely to come, this initial delay has had a positive effect on markets. The President's inaugural address hinted at his overall economic plans, including the overhaul of trade to protect American workers and redirect tax funds to enrich US citizens. Despite this, the Wall Street Journal reported that the administration's day one plan includes outlining Trump's trade vision without immediate tariffs. While some experts believe this move is merely delaying the inevitable conflict, others remain skeptical that the US and China can reach a meaningful agreement. During his campaign, Trump promised tariffs as high as 60% on Chinese goods and 25% on Mexican and Canadian products. Although there has been no immediate action against Canada and Mexico, Trump may still invoke the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which grants him broad authority to deal with threats to national security or the economy. Other potential actions include tariffs under Section 301 and Section 232. Despite the relative calm in markets on Trump's first day back, analysts predict volatility and a potential rally in US dollar and equities in the future.
