Trump e o seu conceito primitivo sobre o sistema comercial multilateral - Cato

Tough Tariff Talk at the 2018 G7 Summit

Cato Institute, June 14, 2018
The G7 summit, which groups Canada, the US, the UK, France, Italy, Japan and Germany, was held Canada this past week. As expected, much of the talk was on the Trump administration’s subverting the rules of international trade with a wrecking ball of tariff indiscretions.

As has been the case every day for the past 16+ months, the U.S. and global economies remain exposed to the whims of an unorthodox president who precariously steers policy from one extreme to the other, keeping us in a perpetual state of uncertainty.

President Trump’s ideas on trade often seem paradoxical, and at the G-7 summit, he floated both abolition of all tariffs worldwide and banning trade with certain countries entirely over the course of just 24 hours.

Unfortunately, rather than seeing free trade as a means of promoting mutually beneficial exchange between buyers and sellers, President Trump thinks of trade as a zero-sum game that sees nations “winning” if they export more than they import.
