# Trump Management’s Trade strategy: A Strategic Shift in Global commerce
economy."/>
The “Trump Round” of trade negotiations, as America’s trade representative Jamieson Greer calls it, was designed to reassert American primacy in global commerce. Peter Navarro,a longtime advisor to Donald Trump,even suggested the president deserved a Nobel prize in economics for demonstrating how the world’s largest market can influence global trade. The White House’s strategy centered on dismantling the old order, once policed-though imperfectly-by the World trade Organization, to usher in a new one with America at its center.
Did You Know?
The world Trade Organization (WTO) has faced increasing criticism for its dispute resolution process and perceived imbalances in trade rules [[1]].
In July 2025, President Trump announced a major trade deal with the European Union (EU), boosting U.S. energy exports and investments [[2]].This deal represents a significant shift in trade relations, moving away from multilateral agreements towards bilateral negotiations.
Pro Tip:
Understanding the nuances of trade agreements requires considering the perspectives of all involved parties, including domestic industries, international partners, and consumers.
The shift in trade policy has sparked debate, with some arguing it strengthens America’s negotiating position while others express concern over potential trade wars and disruptions to global supply chains.
