US President Donald Trump promised to implement the global tariff scheme during the election campaign. Which was completed by Trump and the tariff scheme announced by him came into force from April 2, 2025. This tariff scheme, known as ‘mutual tariff’ or ‘mutual tariff’, is designed to impose counter -tariffs on countries that put high tariffs on American exports.
Trump repeatedly emphasized that he would use tariffs to strengthen the American economy and protect domestic industries after taking over during his election campaign. But do you know who is behind this tariff plan? It is the mind of the leading American economist Peter Navaro. Navaro has been a prominent person in shaping the trade policy during Donald Trump’s President’s President.
Senior advisor to Trump
Peter Navarro acts as a senior advisor on business and manufacturing in another administration of Trump. Navaro will take over on January 20, 2025, while Trump will be elected President on December 4, 2024. Navarro is known as intellectual power behind Trump’s aggressive tariff strategy. Navaro is also called the ‘mastermind’ behind the President’s Protectionist Business Agenda. Their influence was in promoting American manufacturing, reducing trade deficit and preventing improper trade practices by other countries, especially China.
There is PhD in economics.
Navaro was born on 15 July 1949 in Massachusetts. He received his PhD in Economics from Harvard University. He was a professor of economics and public policy at the University of California, Irwin, before entering politics. During his educational life, Navaro wrote books like ‘The Coming China Wars’ (2006) and ‘Death by China’ (2011). In these books, he criticized China’s economic policies. His views were in line with Trump’s ‘America First’ philosophy. For this reason, Trump appointed Navaro as a business advisor during the 2016 campaign and later played important roles in the government.
China at the behest of Navaro
Navarro’s attention was mainly on dealing with America’s largest economic rival China. Their trade policies aim to combat China’s influence. Despite being an important global player, India is not the central target of Navaro tariff schemes like China, Canada or Mexico. However, India has also been indirectly affected by the mutual tariffs of Navaro. For example, India imposes high tariffs on some American exports (eg, agricultural products and manufactured goods), while the US usually imposes less tariffs on Indian imports. But in the new tariff scheme, Navro has tried to correct such imbalance. However, it can have a negative impact on the US-India trade relations.
