Cronología de la Guerra Comercial entre Estados Unidos y China 2018
The US China trade war began in 2018 when the United States implemented tariffs on steel and aluminum, prompting China to impose retaliatory tariffs on US products.
Key escalations included subsequent tariff rounds on billions of dollars worth of goods throughout 2018 and 2019, affecting diverse industries.
Trade Dynamics Then and Now
The imposition of tariffs disrupted established trade routes, forcing companies to re evaluate supply chains. While the original trade war focused on bilateral US China issues, global trade patterns continue to adjust, as seen with "Amid Trump trade war, Canada's exports to China up 30% in first half of 2026."
Lingering Effects and Global Outlook
The trade war's legacy contributes to a complex global economic environment with a current influence score of 29/100. BRICS nations urge "smooth flow of global trade, supply chains, energy" amidst ongoing disruptions and protectionist tendencies. Kenya's crackdown on foreign traders also highlights localized trade tensions.
