Asia — Global Trade Analysis

01.12.2025 Dr. Stewart Nixon

The View from Asia on U.S. Tariffs and Trade

Amid rising global tensions and shifting U.S. trade strategies, what does America’s tariff-driven diplomacy look like from an Asian vantage point? This article draws on insights from a global trade study tour across Washington D.C. and New York City, attended by our partner Dr. Stewart Nixon from IDEAS Malaysia. In this analysis, Dr. Nixon also went deeper on how pressure-based deals, weakening institutions, and a retreat from international leadership are reshaping America’s economic relationships, particularly with the Asia region.
