Trump Exposes Non-Tariff Trade Barriers

Donald Trump has publicly addressed non-tariff trade barriers on social media, as reported by BlockBeats. These practices outlined include currency manipulation, using VAT as an equivalent tariff, export subsidies, dumping below cost, and other government subsidies. He also raised concerns about agricultural protection measures, such as the EU’s ban on genetically modified corn, and technical standards like Japan’s bowling ball tests. Notably, Trump pointed to counterfeiting, piracy, and intellectual property theft, which are reportedly responsible for losses exceeding $1 trillion annually.
