The 47th U.S. President, Donald J. Trump’s second non-consecutive term in 2025, has initiated crucial trade and economic policies affecting the global economic landscape. Despite a brief economic contraction, the U.S. GDP grew by about 2.4% by Q2, with tariff revenues reaching $200 billion. However, there are concerns over potential slowdown and inflation rise by year-end. The Trump administration’s aggressive tariffs on multiple nations have led to spirited discourses, noted for escalating consumer prices and reducing market income. Ongoing trade negotiations with key global partners and a looming global slowdown due to these policies are in focus. Experts are closely monitoring these actions to determine their long-term global impacts.

The article discusses the trade, economic, and international policies of the Trump administration in 2025. Despite mixed economic indicators with GDP growth at 2.4% and the unemployment rate of 4.1%, experts predict end-of-year growth to reduce to around 1.6%-1.7%. The U.S. has a robust tariff regime against China, EU, Canada, and Mexico, and a new U.S.-Japan trade agreement is set to bring ~15% reduction in import duties. However, trade negotiations with the EU hang in balance and the tariff wars with Canada and Mexico persist. OECD warns of a possible global economic slowdown. Despite some positive economic indications, the US faces uncertain international trade relations and potential global economic deceleration.

The 2025 U.S. economic landscape, under President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, is marked by aggressive tariff policies and a renewed focus on international relations. Mid-2025 had a GDP growth of ~2.4%, lower unemployment of 4.1%, and core CPI inflation between 2.7%–2.9%., while tariff revenues hit $200 billion. Trade relationships are being redefined with baseline tariff rates of 15-50% imposed on China, EU, Canada, and Mexico. However, OECD forecasts a slower ~1.6%–1.7% growth with an inflation rise to ~3.9 by year-end. Tariffs could also lead to rising household costs and decreased market income. Despite challenges, relations with countries like the U.K. and Pakistan look promising. Stay updated on U.S. economic and trade developments in this new era.
