| − | '''Summary:''' "Trump’s tariffs significantly enhance U.S. bargaining leverage by exploiting economic asymmetries and pressuring trading partners to negotiate better terms, as evidenced by deals with the UK, Japan, and others. However, the probability of increasing overall U.S. trade is tempered by retaliatory tariffs, economic costs, and global disruptions. I estimate a 30-50% probability of increasing total trade in the short term, rising to 50-70% in the long term if negotiations succeed and reshoring materializes. The outcome hinges on the administration’s ability to secure deals without triggering prolonged trade wars or domestic backlash." | + | '''Summary:''' "Trump’s tariffs significantly enhance U.S. bargaining leverage by exploiting economic asymmetries and pressuring trading partners to negotiate better terms, as evidenced by deals with the UK, Japan, and others.
