Free trade is policy of not putting any restrictions on imports and exports by keeping
international free from any restrictions: tariffs or quotas (Irwin, 2015). But Trump

practices. This paper evaluates the trade war between USA and China. It explains the main
reasons for this trade dispute such as the increasing trade deficit of USA with China. The
paper discusses the progression of this dispute and its current status. It also discusses the
growing trend of protectionism among nations to boost their economy (Moon, 2000). Finally,
the paper talks about the possible momentum towards the free trade.
