President Trump’s approach to trade negotiations has been marked by an emphasis on “strategic uncertainty.” This means he deliberately creates ambiguity, which his team believes works to their advantage. Trump has repeatedly stated that the US doesn’t necessarily have to sign any trade agreements.
In fact, he claims the country could sign up to 25 deals at any time. His main focus is on securing fair deals for the US, regardless of how it impacts other countries’ markets. He also suggests that his team might negotiate terms, but if the deals are unsatisfactory, he may simply impose tariffs on his own. (Source: AP)
