The article analyzes in detail the specifics of the tariff policy of the Trump administration, including its origins, legal grounds and theoretical grounds, non-compliance with the norms of the World Trade Organization, effectiveness in modern conditions and consequences for the global economy and international trade. The conclusion is drawn about the limited effectiveness of this policy in relation to US trade with China. The impact of D. Trump’s tariff policy on Russia’s foreign trade is considered separately.
