What are the underlying systemic implications of the US tariff policy, and how might this approach impact future trade relations and economic stability?

This tariff policy's impact will likely be felt by US consumers through higher prices. The focus on trade deficits, rather than specific trade barriers, could escalate trade tensions and potentially lead to retaliatory measures from other countries. The lack of transparency and uneven application of the formula raise concerns about the fairness and effectiveness of the approach.

What is Stephen Miran's argument regarding the cause of chronic US trade deficits, and how does it differ from the traditional view?

In Stephen Miran's November 2024 article, he argues that the US's chronic trade deficits are not primarily caused by excessive spending and budget deficits, but rather by global demand for US financial assets, especially Treasury bonds. This high demand necessitates large US budget deficits to meet foreign capital inflows, resulting in a strong dollar that undermines American export competitiveness.

How does the US trade deficit, and the strength of the US dollar, influence the trade relationship between Ireland and the United States?

This surge in Irish exports, particularly to the US (€72.6 billion, a 34% increase), occurs amidst President Trump's plans to impose tariffs globally to address the US's record $1.2 trillion trade deficit. The strong US dollar makes imports cheaper for Americans and exports pricier for foreigners, contributing to this imbalance.
