Former President Donald Trump is preparing for a potential second term with a focus on a more aggressive trade policy towards China. According to his advisers, Trump is expected to impose more stringent export controls on key US technologies and is less interested in negotiating a deal with China. His strategy may include convincing allies to exclude Chinese companies like BYD from their markets. This approach contrasts with the current administration under President Biden, who has implemented extensive tech export controls but remains open to negotiations. Trump's foreign policy, as discussed by Christian Whiton, is being framed as a return to 'peace through strength,' emphasizing a tougher stance on China and a focus on American resilience in various sectors. Additionally, the EV sector could be impacted, with US restrictions potentially depressing innovation.
