  • PageNo: 583-600
  • Abstract:
  • The world economy is passing through tumultuous times. On the one hand, growth rates have lost their steam and on the other, nations are turning more protectionist. The return of Donald Trump as the President of the United States of America (USA) brought with it the prospect of turning America into a protectionist fortress. Tariffs, once considered to be a policy instrument in political economy threaten to become an offensive weapon in the hands of the Trump administration. This has major repercussions for the US and the global economy. The current papers examines the objectives behind the tariff games initiated by the Trump administration, the likely impact and the way forward for the world economy.
