As the administration shifts its tariff strategy, it aims to negotiate better trade terms, citing a commitment to reforming unfair practices in the global trade system.

Trump's announcement followed an earlier plan to levy high tariffs globally, but ultimately led to a 90-day pause for most countries, with significant exceptions for China, raising those tariffs to 145%. This strategic recalibration is seen as a means to protect American jobs and industries while addressing the complexities of international trade disputes.

In further efforts to reduce dependency on Chinese manufacturing, companies like Apple and Samsung are also hastening the diversification of their supply chains, with India and Vietnam proving to be crucial alternative production hubs.
