Evaluating Trump’s Tariffs: Impact on Sino-Moroccan Relations and Morocco’s Economy

Abstract

This paper delves into the impacts of President Donald Trump’s reemergence in politics, focusing on his protectionist trade policies and their effects on a global scale. Trump’s tariffs have sparked considerable debate in the international economic community, affecting trade relations and economic stability in numerous countries. The analysis pays particular attention to Morocco, a country situated at the intersection of Africa and Europe, which is currently navigating the challenges of a shifting global trade landscape. The study explores how the current political situation and the economic policies influenced by U.S. directives challenge Morocco’s long-established role in international trade agreements. It also looks into both the immediate and long-term impacts of these tariff policies on Morocco’s economic stability and growth. As Morocco aims to strengthen its influence in Africa, its relationship with China becomes increasingly important. This analysis highlights the direct effects of U.S. trade policies on Morocco and illustrates the wider implications for global trade dynamics. By examining these interrelated factors, we can gain a clearer understanding of the future of Morocco’s economic outlook in an ever-evolving international context. The findings emphasize the necessity for countries like Morocco to strategically adapt to changing trade conditions.
