According to a tariff simulator estimating changes in global trade, exports from China to the US may now fall between 2027 and 2027 to half a trillion dollars ($ 485 billion).
Trade talks between the US and China continued on Monday in Stockholm.
Considering the dominant position of China in trade with the United States, this decline will be greater than the total decrease in global exports to the United States when the entire nations enters the model.
The estimation is based on the latest tariffs between the US and China and how global trade can be restructured in response. Currently, the US demands a combination of 51% for tariffs on Chinese goods, while the US exports to China faces 32.6% tariff. If any agreement could not be reached until August 12, it threatened much higher tariffs on US goods, which may increase tariff rates up to 145%.

Countries of the Chinese manufacturing economy will also experience US exports weakness. Vietnam, a country that benefited from a “China plus” supply chain strategy that allows manufacturers to avoid some Chinese goods tariffs, could see that US exports fell by $ 102 billion until 2027.
South Korea is expected to decrease $ 49 billion in exports to the US by the tariff simulator.
According to the analysis, the products representing significant parts of these decreases include broadcasting equipment ($ 59.2 billion) and cars from China and Cars from South Korea ($-$ 58.7 billion).
At the same time, even if the US threatens additional tariffs to North American trade partners and has not been able to make an agreement with Canada so far, the US will import more than Canada (+128 billion dollars) and more than Mexico (+77 billion dollars) and the United Kingdom (+23 billion dollars) and will sign a trade agreement with the United States recently
Although the existing Chinese tariffs and EU tariffs level officialized in the trade agreement announced on Sunday will lead to an increase in US exports in 2027, the decline in Chinese goods that came to the US has already begun.

“This is a very robust indicator of the decreases on the container ship in the next to two weeks,” said Louttit.
Retail groups have repeatedly warned that the cycle of tariff threats and delays contributed only to uncertainty and hesitating progress with orders.
