The US presidential election is not just about consolidating or switching the seats of power – it also has a significant impact on trade relations for companies trading with the US.
During the Trump administration, former President Donald Trump made bold moves with his trade policy: introducing tariffs on Chinese imports, steel and aluminium imports from the UK, EU and Japan, withdrawing from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and threatening to do the same from the WTO.
When incumbent President Joe Biden won the election in 2021, there was a sense of stability on the horizon. Biden proclaimed that the US would “write the [trade] rules of the road for the world”. However, years later, he’s been criticised for keeping trade policy at a standstill and lacking strategy.
