Trump has demonstrated a unique application of power to impose tariffs based on international relations and political stances. For instance, he warned Canada that recognizing a Palestinian state could jeopardize trade agreements. Similarly, he threatened Colombia with a 25% tariff to compel acceptance of deported migrants. Trump's tariffs target countries like India and Russia based on their foreign policy actions. Brazil has seen increased tariffs due to its prosecution of Bolsonaro. This raises questions about the appropriate use of trade power and the flexibility of tariff imposition for varying political motivations.
Trump has utilized tariffs as a political tool, imposing them based on responses to international actions or proposals rather than traditional trade-related reasons.
Consequences of these tariffs include Colombia agreeing to accept deported migrants and India potentially facing tariffs for oil imports from Russia.
