“Trump’s Second Term in 2025: The Impact of His Trade Policies on the U.S. and Global Economy”
In 2025, under President Trump’s second non-consecutive term, the U.S. economy has seen robust changes due to his administration’s aggressive trade and economic policies. The U.S. GDP growth stands at around 2.4%, unemployment at 4.1%, and inflation between 2.7% and 2.9%. Trump’s controversial tariff regime, with rates between 15–50% across China, EU, Canada, and Mexico, has sparked negotiations, tensions, and a potential global slowdown as warned by the OECD. Despite some positive indicators, the benefit of these changes is hotly debated, with the average U.S. household bearing an estimated $1,296 cost in 2025 due to increased consumer prices. This analysis reveals the wide-ranging impacts of Trump’s policies at both a national and international level.
