Promise and peril for Southeast Asia in Trump’s tariff talk

Summary

70% Informative

Southeast Asia could see a new wave of factories moving in from China to evade the soaring tariffs U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has proposed to impose on the world’s second -largest economy.

But the trade surpluses the region has built up with the United States and its heavy use of Chinese inputs for its own exports may blunt the benefits.

Trump has threatened to push tariffs on all imports from China up to 60% for his second term.

Aat, of the Center for International Trade Studies , said factories that move to Southeast Asia to make exports but draw heavily on Chinese inputs also crowd out producers across the sub-region that could be supplying them instead.

Even if Southeast Asian countries avoid the added U.S. tariffs or trade curbs many fear, they may still face the 10%-20% levy Trump has proposed imposing.
