Weeks before taking office, President-elect Donald J. Trump is
doubling down on tariffs. Even if the threat to impose them
proves to be just a negotiating tactic or bluster, it is also a
gambit that has immediate consequences.

Ana Swanson, who covers trade for The Times, discusses whether
tariffs worked in Mr. Trump’s first term and how they compare
with the alternative approach used by President Biden.

Background reading:

Mr. Trump’s threat to wield tariffs is already rocking
business and diplomatic relationships.

The president-elect picked Jamieson Greer, a lawyer and
former Trump official, to serve as top trade negotiator, a
position that will be crucial to Mr. Trump’s plans of rewriting
the rules of trade in America’s favor.
