The article examines the economic and global effects of the 2025 U.S. administration under President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance. The U.S. has seen a GDP growth of 2.4% in Q2 2025, but predictions indicate a dip to 1.6%-1.7% with an inflation rise to 3.9% by the year’s end. Unemployment stands at roughly 4.1%, and CPI inflation is around 2.7% – 2.9%. A noteworthy positive is the growth of blue-collar wages and increased capital expenditures. However, it remains unclear how these trends will sustain against the administration’s stringent tariff policies.

Trump and Vance’s administration has imposed tariffs between 15 and 50% on countries including China, the EU, Canada, and Mexico. This has triggered global negotiations with varied outcomes. EU negotiations seem uncertain, though a U.S.-Japan trade agreement has slashed import duties to around 15% and U.S.-China talks are ongoing. Conversely, a trade war with Canada and Mexico ignites, with a 25% tariff on imports in place. These policies have been criticized by the Court of International Trade, which argues that the tariffs exceed Presidential authority.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has warned about a possible global economic slump, due to the U.S’s diminished growth and rising inflation. While U.S.-U.K. and Pakistan are nearing a trade agreement, a European boycott on U.S. goods is growing. Border policies have also led to travel warnings, although the impact on U.K. firms appears minor. The overall economic and trade patterns of 2025, though transformative, face uncertainty and global backlash.

The Trump-Vance administration’s economic and trade policies in 2025 have significantly impacted international and domestic markets. The US economy showed volatility with slight GDP contraction in Q1, recovery in Q2, a steady unemployment rate of around 4.1%, and an inflation surge to between 2.7% – 2.9%. Their trade policy featuring aggressive tariffs on several countries has stirred reactions globally, leading to a potential global slowdown and social-political backlash but also encouraging trade deals like the US-Japan agreement.

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.
