U.S.<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump has implemented sweeping tariffs on a wide range of countries since taking office, and earlier in April imposed a 10-percent &#8220;minimum baseline tariff&#8221; on all imports, before unveiling higher rates on certain trading partners. &#8220;It&#8217;s actually a disruption in the global trade ecosystem, a movement from a multilateral system that existed, international corporations between nations, to more of a unilateral, an isolationist kind of system.<\/p>\n<p>For trade experts, we believe it&#8217;s more of a protectionist trade policy, of which I think the world should have gone beyond that, pushing for more trade integration at international level,&#8221; he said in an interview with China Central Television (CCTV).<\/p>\n<p>The expert believes the U.S. government should reconsider their tariff policy. &#8220;Putting up a base tariff and a reciprocal tariff on different countries, of which we understand a defect, it&#8217;s cross-cutting to even the least developed, like in Africa, the effect will really be high, going by the trade relationship in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump needs to sit back and then take a review to that policy, because we should move towards global cooperation, not more of an isolationist system,&#8221; said Busong.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Mauritius<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
