The US economy partners are down to maintain trade volumes during Donald Trump’s time by closing new bilateral deals and change the supply chains to facilitate the increase in US protectionism.

Laws and trade experts say nations turned to a tactic held in the US President’s first term, when they signed several trading deals with each other while the biggest economy of Consumer in the world build obstacles.

Since Trump’s Elections in November, the EU has earned a long-expected trade deal of Mercosur Bloc in South America countries, an updated a free trade agreement with Mexico, and reopened the negotiations in Malaysia nearly die for more than a decade.

Trump while in his first days of duty threatening tariffs of up to 100 percent of China, 25 percent of Canada and MexicoAnd he said he considered a Blanket Levy to all US imports. He also directs US government agencies to check trade issues including money maneuver and counterfeit goods.

Tengku Zafrul Aziz, the Minister of Malaysia, speaking the Financial Times that Trump’s return “can indeed induce countries in further diversification of their trading portfolios.

Aziz quotes the Example of Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, which leads 11 members in 2018 after Trump pulls US from talks. The agreement “shows the strength of countries willing to work together even without traditional economic leaders such as the US,” he said.

The EU trade commissioner Maroš šefčovič told the World Economic Forum in Davos that his diary was filled with ministers from the Gulf countries and everywhere. “There is great interest” to make Deals in the EU, he said.

The whole group of commissioners will visit India to improve trade negotiation and technology in the next few months.

“Active countries that make deals make it independent of US conditions,” as a European officer, which increases a “large gap” What really happens on the ground.

In Trump’s first term EU signed agreements in Japan – a strong ally of the US fearing economic damage from his policies – Singapore and Vietnam and began talks in New Zealand and Chile, at end completed agreements. An EU officer is joining that the President is the “best commissioner of EU trade since”.

“There are many deals,” said Cecilia Malmström, the EU trade commissioner when Trump was the end of the power that became the instrument in the first Mercosur negotiations. “We think, it’s a hard world. We don’t believe in trading wars. We have an unpredictable president throwing up tariffs all over the place. Let’s see what we can do together . “

Malmström, now with law firm Covington & Burling, hoping to be a Mexican agreement and talking to Australia, Indonesia and it is possible that the Philippines and Thailand finishes through Trump.

Bernd Lange, leading the trading committee in Europe, said that the EU response to Trump together with retaliation tariffs with a deeper trade relationship in other areas. “In addition to defending ourselves, we must further strengthen our cooperation with third countries such as UK, Mexico, Japan or Canada, which can also be in crossfire.

“It means approval of trading agreements such as EU-Mercosur, and end negotiation with companions such as Australia and Indonesia.”

In 2020 ASEAN countries including China, Japan, Korea, Australia and New Zealand formed Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. RCEP primarily reduced non-business barriers such as veterinary controls and customs procedures. RCEP contains 2.3 billion people and 30 percent of Global GDP, compared to 25 percent of the US.

The African Continental Free Trade Area, which will eliminate 90 percent of the tariffs over time, began at 2021.

Selling goods and services continued to grow in recent years despite the covid-19 pandemic and increasing protectionism.

Scott Lincicome at the Cato Institute, a Think-Tank based in Washington, said: “No matter what Donald Trump did in the next few years, everyone seems to be unwilling to accept economic and the instead continue without us. There are 370 trading deals implemented by mid 2024 with no indication of future change. “

China, on the other hand, has recently obtained agreements with Serbia, Cambodia, Nicaragua and Ecuador. Beijing, which Trump saw the largest rival in the US, relates about 30 percent of global production.

A senior trade officer, refusing to name, saying that they are “more doubtful at this time” in a deal with dealmaking because agreements left to complete more difficult in negotiations.

“Trump’s return can promote new bilatuals, maybe in Africa. But Asia is a bit stuck. I’m coming.”
