This article is a non-exhaustive list of achievements by U.S. President Donald Trump, his administration, and Congress related to trade policy.

2017

President Trump, along with trade advisor Peter Navarro, Vice Preaident Mike Pence, and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, prior to the signing of two trade orders, March 31, 2017

President Trump began pursuing a conservative, economic nationalist trade policy, and he used trade as a point of leverage with other countries.[1]

Executive actions, 2017

  • January 23, 2017—Trump signed an order that withdrew the United States from the globalist Trans-Pacific Partnership.[2]
  • March 18, 2017—The Trump Administration forced the G-20 to remove its opposition to protectionism and its support for free trade from its joint statement.[3]
  • March 31, 2017—President Trump signed two orders. The first order instituted a crackdown on violations of anti-dumping laws and help to officials to collect penalties already owed to the U.S. The second order ordered a report by the Department of Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative on the causes of the U.S. trade deficit due within 90 days.[4][5]
  • April 18, 2017—President Trump signed a "buy-American, hire-American" order, restricting the H-1B visa to give hiring preference to American workers and enacting stronger enforcement of laws requiring the use of American-made materials in federal projects.[6]
  • April 20, 2017—President Trump signed a memorandum directing the Department of Commerce to investigate whether steel imports pose a threat to U.S. national security.[7][8]
  • April 25, 2017—After Canada changed its milk pricing policy, putting U.S. farmers at a severe disadvantage,[9] the Trump Administration imposed tariffs at rates up to 24% on Canadian lumber imports.[10] The Trump Administration increased the tariffs in June 2017[11] and made them final in November 2017.[12]
  • April 27, 2017—President Trump signed a memorandum opening a Department of Commerce investigation into whether the high level of aluminum imports constitutes a threat to U.S. national security.[13]
  • April 29, 2017—President Trump signed two executive orders, one ordering the U.S. to review all of its free trade agreements including NAFTA, and the other establishing a White House trade policy office.[14][15]
  • May 11, 2017—President Trump approved a trade deal with China which would increase American exports.[16]
  • May 18, 2017—President Trump began the process of renegotiating NAFTA.[17]
  • June 12, 2017—The U.S. and China made an agreement that would allow American beef products to be exported to China.[18] U.S. beef imports began entering China soon afterward.[19]
  • July 8, 2017—In the final G-20 common statement, the Trump Administration, which was ideologically opposed by the other G-20 nations, successfully received concessions from them on the statement on trade.[20]
  • July 2017—A month after allowing the U.S. to export beef, China allowed the U.S. to export rice to the nation.[21]
  • July 31, 2017—The United States and Ukraine agreed to have the U.S. export coal to Uraine, so the latter could gain energy independence from Russia.[22]

Other achievements, 2018

While the following achievements were not official United States government policy actions by the Trump Administration, they were closely related to the Trump Administration and its policies:

  • Through his trade actions, President Trump helped revive the GOP's historical support for tariffs.[87] By 2018, blue-collar manufacturing towns in the U.S. that had once supported Democrats had become strongly Republican, largely because of the GOP's and Trump's increasingly tough stance on trade issues.[88] Additionally, President Trump made numerous strong statements defending his support for tariffs.[89]
  • President Trump's enactment of aluminum and steel tariffs had a positive immediate effect on American manufacturers, with U.S. steel mills seeing a nearly 5% shipment increase in 2018,[90] and with several steel companies restarting or even considering building factories.[91] For example, United States Steel announced it would increase operations in Granite City, Illinois, due to increased demand resulting from the tariffs[92] and Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. announced a massive increase in business following the tariffs' enactment.[93] Additionally, Nucor announced it would build a new steel mill in Florida.[94] In June 2018, the steel company JSW announced it would invest $500 million to build a new steel plant in Ohio, something it announced after announcing an additional $500 million investment in an existing plant in Texas.[95] U.S. Steel announced in August 2018 that it would invest $750 million in its Gary, Indiana, plant, crediting the steel tariffs.[96] Braidy Industries moved forward in building a new aluminum mill that would create 550 new jobs.[97] Steel Dynamics announced it would invest up to $1.8 billion to build a new steel mill in the southwest U.S. that would create about 600 jobs.[98] A Louisiana pipe company reported excellent business because of the tariffs.[99] The American steel industry was "very happy" with the administration's tariffs.[100] Additionally, aluminum prices had actually fallen one month after President Trump announced tariffs on foreign aluminum products, in part due to increased production by U.S. aluminum producers.[101] By June 2018, President Trump's tariffs were attributed, at least in part, to the strong and rapid economic turnaround in the Iron Range of Minnesota,[102][103] in Michigan,[103] as well as the positive economic effect on Granite City, Illinois, as also briefly mentioned above.[104] In December 2018, Fiat Chrysler announced it would build an assembly plant in Detroit, the first new factory in the city in 27 years and the first new assembly plant in the country by a domestic car maker since before the Great Recession.[105] An analysis by the Coalition for a Prosperous America in August 2018 found that since February 1 of that year, 11,100 jobs were created as a result of the Trump Administration's tariffs,[106] and that twenty times more jobs had been created than lost as a result of the tariffs.[107] The CPA also estimated that 2.1 million jobs were created in 2018 by the administration's steel tariffs and its other economic policies.[108] A December 2018 report by the Economic Policy Institute found that the March 2018 tariff on aluminum imports was having a positive impact on the U.S. economy and the aluminum industry.[109] Additionally, while not a direct effect of President Trump's trade policies, the economy continued its strong growth despite fears that the tariffs would slow growth,[110] and by the second quarter of 2018, U.S. productivity had risen to the highest level since 2015 despite fears that the tariffs would lower productivity.[111] Manufacturing output, even from those using steel and aluminum, increased at a strong pace in October 2018 despite fears that tariffs would hurt production,[112] and orders of products affected by tariffs increased that month.[113]
  • Exports rose 6.6% in May 2018, causing the United States's trade deficit to drop to the lowest level since October 2016,[114] and by August 2018, prospective military sales to U.S. allies reached $63 billion – 50% higher than in 2017 – despite fears that President Trump's tariffs would do the opposite.[115]
  • U.S. arms sales saw strong growth in 2018. By July 2018, the U.S. had already sold more weapons that year than the entire year in 2017,[116] and in Fiscal Year 2018, the dollar value of U.S. arms sales nearly reached the record set in 2012.[117] The State Department reported in November 2018 that U.S. arms sales increased 13% in Fiscal Year 2018 compared to the previous year, with arms sales specifically from the U.S. government to a foreign government increasing 33% during the same period.[118]

2019

By 2019, the Trump Administration had taken numerous actions on trade.[119] These trade actions seriously challenged China's economic growth,[120] and because of the Trump Administration's trade actions, the U.S. trade deficit fell 15% in January 2019.[121] By May 2019, the tariffs on China had raised $16 billion,[122] and total tariffs between June 2018 and June 2019 had raised $63 billion.[123] In September 2019, the U.S. collected $7 billion from tariffs, a record number.[124] Additionally, many companies moved production out of China.[125] President Trump's trade actions against China, among other actions, helped "decouple" the economies of the two nations.[126] As in other issues, the deep state and Obama holdovers attempted to obstruct President Trump's conservative trade agenda.[127]

  • May 5, 2019—President Trump announced that because of China's stalling in negotiations, he planned on raising tariffs on $200 billion of the country's exports to the U.S. from 10% to 25%.[138] On May 8, 2019, the USTR filed a notice for the tariff increase.[139] The tariff increase happened as scheduled at midnight on May 10, 2019.[59] That same day, the USTR began the process of raising tariffs on all remaining Chinese imports.[140] On June 29, 2019, President Trump put the planned tariffs on hold as the U.S. and China agreed to resume trade talks,[141] though on August 1, 2019, he announced the U.S. would proceed with those tariffs and formally impose them the following month.[142] On August 13, 2019, President Trump partially pulled back on the previous tariff announcement, delaying some of the planned tariffs and canceling some others.[143] On August 23, 2019, President Trump told American businesses to move operations out of China and to search out and refuse any fentanyl shipments to the U.S.,[144] and, in retaliation for newly-imposed Chinse tariffs, he announced that the existing 25% tariffs would be raised to 30% on October 1, 2019, and that the pending 10% tariffs would be raised to 15%.[145] On September 11, 2019, President Trump announced that he would postpone tariffs on China by two weeks, from October 1 to October 15.[146] On October 11, 2019, President Trump announced a partial trade agreement with China and suspended the planned tariff increase.[147] On December 13, 2019, the U.S. and China announced a preliminary and limited trade agreement to avoid increasing U.S. tariffs on China.[148]
  • May 7, 2019—The U.S. reimposed a 17.5% tariff on tomatoes from Mexico after the U.S. withdrew from a 2013 agreement suspending the tariff.[149] On August 21, 2019, the Trump Administration announced an agreement with Mexican tomato producers to resolve the dispute.[150] On November 22, 2019, the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled in favor of the agreement.[151]

Other achievements, 2019

While the following achievements were not official United States government policy actions by the Trump Administration, they were closely related to the Trump Administration and its policies:

  • President Trump's tariffs continued to have a positive effect on manufacturers and jobs.[183] In January 2019, Republic Steel announced it would reopen a steel mill in Ohio.[184] The German company Kion considered expanding its manufacturing to the U.S. to avoid American tariffs.[185] Also in January 2019, the steel company Nucor announced that because of President Trump's tariffs, it would invest $1.3 billion to build a new steel mill in the Midwest.[186] On February 11, 2019, U.S. Steel announced it would restart construction of a plant in Alabama, something the company credited President Trump's tariffs for.[187] In April 2019, the Russian company Rusal announced it would invest $200 million into a Braidy Industries aluminum plant, the largest such plant built in the U.S. in four decades.[188] On May 2, 2019, U.S. Steel announced it would invest over $1 billion in its plants near Pittsburgh.[189] The U.S. economy continued performing well with President Trump's tariffs in place.[190]

  • As a result of a Chinese ban on paper and plastic scraps, investment significantly increased for American plants processing recyclable items.[193]

Setbacks, 2019

The following setbacks to the MAGA agenda were often caused by Congress or officials in the Trump Administration, rather than President Trump himself. Some of them can also be considered partial achievements.

2020

Despite false attacks from avowed globalists,[195] President Trump continued pursuing conservative trade policies in 2020.[196] He also continued making strong statements on trade issues.[197] As liberal denialists claimed that the trade war hurt America, it was reported in mid-January that China's annual GDP growth fell to a three decade-low while America had continued prospering economically (prior to the CCP pandemic).[198]

Executive actions, 2020

  • January 15, 2020—The United States and China signed a landmark trade deal that would ease tensions created in the long-lasting trade war and boost the U.S. economy by increasing exports to China.[199]
  • July 10, 2020—After France taxed U.S. tech companies, The Trump Administration imposed a 25% tariff on French products worth over 1 billion dollars.[200]

Proclamations, 2020

  • January 24, 2020—With exceptions for some countries, President Trump signed a proclamation expanding tariffs on importations of steel and aluminum products.[201]

Other achievements, 2020

  • January/February 2020—Following continuous tariffs on China, it was reported that the U.S. trade deficit fell in 2019 for the first time since 2013.[204]
  • April 12, 2020—Following a historic OPEC deal that cut global petroleum output,[205] U.S. oil prices significantly dropped towards the benefit of consumers.[206]
  • April 14, 2020—Compared to the year previous, the U.S. was able to export to China twice as many soybeans and six times as much pork.[207]

  • May 6, 2020—It was reported that the United States had exported a record amount of pork to China in the months previous.[209]

Debatable, 2020

  • January 29, 2020—President Trump signed into law the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (commonly referred to as the USMCA) to replace the globalist NAFTA.[215] However, this agreement marked only partial success of Trump's North American trade agenda. While it fixed some of the issues that had led to trade imbalances under NAFTA, it failed to curb back supranational bureaucratic oversight in any significant way. In fact, in some areas it even expanded said oversight, including on matters related to immigration.[216]
