Trump’s Executive Orders March 31, 2017 “Enhanced AD/CVD Collection & Enforcement Executive Order” Will use “bonding requirements, based on risk assessments, on entries of articles subject to” AD and CVD duties. There is a 90-day period for developing a plan to do this. Another 90-day period for developing a strategy for stopping imports that violate other laws, including IP. Instructs the Attorney General (in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security) to develop practices for prosecuting those who violate US trade laws

Trump’s Executive Orders March 31, 2017 “Omnibus Report On Significant Trade Deficits” Preface: “[F]or many years, the United States has not obtained the full scope of benefits anticipated under a number of international trade agreements or from participating in the World Trade Organization.” Evidence of this is the annual trade deficit, which exceeded $700 billion in 2016. It requires an Omnibus Report within 90 days, by June 29, 2017

Trump’s Executive Orders March 31, 2017 “Omnibus Report On Significant Trade Deficits” The Report shall Identify those trading partners with which the US had significant trade deficits in 2016. Assess the causes of these deficits in the policies and actions of the countries and their governments. Assess the implications of the deficits for the strength of US manufacturing, employment, wage growth, and national security. The Report is to draw from comments by stakeholders, “including manufacturers, workers, consumers, service providers, farmers, and ranchers.” [Note: Not economists.]

Other proposals and actions Tariff on China Change calculation of trade and trade deficit Support for US Ex-Im Bank Retaliate against EU for their restrictions on imports of US hormone-treated beef Commerce Department rules steel plate imports unfairly priced from Germany, as well as from Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. It will levy tariffs ahead of final determination in May. (Not clear that this was a Trump initiative; may have begun under Obama.)

😀 😒 Conclusion Has Trump “wimped out” on trade? Not on TPP (but it was doubtful anyway) Yes on NAFTA Other things: We’ll see 😀 😒
