Describe and explain how President Trump’s approach to economic policy
impacts upon foreign economies such as China.
INTRODUCTION
Economics policies decisions are basically guided by getting political considerations and
economic constraints (Braun, 2018). These kind of policies are divided in two different levels as
the choice of economic goals and the policies will be used to attain it. In terms of Presidents,
Trump’s economic strategy during was to boost economic growth by tax cutting and additional
spending. Both of these, which significantly increased federal budget deficits. He outlines
several key areas of the economy that will required for major improvement. He cited out-of-
control government spending, high unemployment rates and the negative US trade balance as
intolerable truths. After this, he was taking major decision against the issues in order in order to
reform economic independence in effective manner.
MAIN BODY
Policies are generally directed to achieve some major goals as Promoting economic
prosperity, Promoting employment, stabilizing market and ensuring market development. In this
process, government of a country play a major role in respect of tax policies, distribution of
income, supply of money and flow of development in the economy of a country. In this respect
President Donald Trump has taken some major actions to change the entire foundation of global
trade with the help of tariffs on millions of dollars. These kind of activities requires a same
respond from other countries while a nation rise tariffs which is known as a kind of tax. Donald
Trump impose tariffs of goods from around the world and particularly within China. As he
placed around 10% changes on $200bn worth on goods of China. Furthermore, he has announced
to make modifications at the level of 25% tariffs on $325bn for other Chinese goods. Another
decision towards economic policies of Trump are to gained $100bn from tariff will going to be
used for the purchasing of agriculture goods from US (Trade wars, Trump tariffs and
protectionism explained, 2019). One major decision of Trump towards China is to cut trade
deficit within China. These kind of Gap determine as difference in how much a nation buys

commodities from another as compared with how much one country sells to another. The United
States has a large trade deficit with China, which has risen from $43.6 billion to $419.2 billion
over the last year. Economists warn that the damage would potentially outstrip any temporary
trade agreement with China (Destek and Aslan, 2017). These kind of decisions has a direct
impact upon the manufacturing industries of china which can be a major point of concern
towards the economist of other countries. At the time of Trade war, Trump has also said that
Beijing offset the pressure of tariff by lower down its currency to make its overseas exports
cheaper.
CONCLUSION
From the above report it has been concluded that government of a country needs to take a
specific decision towards the development of its economy. It needs to b include decisions
towards taxation, redistribution of income from the rich to poor and appropriate management of
money. For some of the countries. Free trade can be a better option through which each country
is specialized in manufacturing that can give a competitive advantages to them.

Social media is one of emerging need of people as well as organization to reach at large
no. of consumers. As social media has its own advantages and disadvantages, to overcome from
its limitations government proposed some sort of regulation (Rofiq and Pramono, 2019).
Recently UK government hold liable for to social media executives for harmful content that

TikTok can identify and share users identify with government if asked to do so. Respective

to all organization that operates personal data and information regarding individuals. Facebook
and Twitter take very seriously the privacy of their consumers as it build loyalty in their mind
and they spend lot of time on utilizing respective tools that ultimately proved very much
beneficial for respective organization (Lu, Wang and Xu, 2019). By providing transparency in
their transactions organization can be able to beat their fierce competitors that enhance viability
behind existing in market as they serve self interest of consumers in potential manner. Due to
respective regulation now developers not allowed to access the user’s data that helps to build
trust. It is often happened in Face book that people talk offensively with one another. So by using
respective practices government may impose restrictions for working in self interest of people.

information of consumers (Gaganis, Pasiouras and Voulgari, 2019). Their data policy always
remain in consolidated form that helps to map out in way organization use data and process
people’s information but provide education by using consent experience for new and existing
users. by providing controlling power to consumers to use their data and information that protect
their self interest.

most important tool for organization as well as individual. It is evaluated that they need to work
