Trumpâs Economic Policies Show Need for a âHuman Rights Economyâ
On April 2, US President Donald Trump announced import tariffs â many above 40 percent, on goods from virtually every country â upending the global economy. Although now paused above a baseline 10 percent, except for China, these new tariffs illustrate the danger of pursuing economic reforms without regard for the impact on peopleâs human rights.
