Coming soon: CGTN documentary 'The Tariff Boomerang'

On February 10, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered 25-percent tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports. Since 2018, tariffs have been at the center of the global debate in the field of international trade. Now, the United States is once again brandishing the tariff stick, threatening to levy hundreds of billions, or even trillions, of dollars in tariffs on companies that don't produce products in the U.S. According to the U.S. perception, tariffs have become the "panacea" for solving trade problems. But what problems do they solve? By playing the "tariff card" so aggressively, could the U.S. build an impregnable fortress for its domestic industries, or is it launching a race down into the abyss of protectionism? Tune in to the CGTN documentary "The Tariff Boomerang” at 7:30 p.m. BJT on February 11, to find out the economic truth beneath tariffs.
