U.S. bond prices fell steeply, pushing Treasury yi

United States President Donald Trump has once again defended his administration’s tariff policies, claiming that the strategy has played a major role in strengthening the U.S. economy and boosting the stock market. Since returning to office for his second term, Trump has emphasized a renewed focus on economic nationalism, arguing that countries trading with the United States must pay tariffs determined by the government to protect American interests. In his latest remarks, Trump a

U.S. President Donald Trump conceded in a recent interview that imposing a 100% tariff on Chinese imports would not be a lasting policy, saying, “It’s not sustainable, but that’s what the number is.” He asserted that Beijing “forced me to do that,” pointing to China’s tighter export controls—especially on rare earth elements—as justification for the heightened measur

The United States has warned that steep tariffs could soon be imposed on China if Beijing proceeds with its newly announced restrictions on rare earth exports, heightening concerns of another trade confrontation between the two largest economies in the world. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Tuesday that the decision now rests largely on China’s next actions, suggesting that the situation remains fluid in the run-up to a crucial diplomatic meeting later this month.

The imposition of tariffs on India by President Donald Trump has triggered widespread debate in policy circles, not only in India but also in the United States, where senior officials have issued contradictory statements about the rationale behind this decision.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to India marks a crucial moment in the efforts to reset strained relations between the two neighboring giants.

US President Donald Trump has once again taken a hardline stance on trade, defending his controversial tariff policies and warning of dire consequences if they are overturned. Among his recent moves was the imposition of a 50% tariff on Indian imports — a decision that has already sparked concerns in business and diplomatic circles.

The cost of tariffs remains one of the most contentious and difficult aspects of international trade policy. While politically charged, the real impact on American consumers can be analyzed by modeling how the proposed tariffs influence retail prices of everyday goods.
