Former President Trump's brief trade war with Colombia highlights his approach to trade negotiations, involving swift threats of tariffs. This incident, lasting about 10 hours, ended with Colombia agreeing to Trump's terms regarding immigration and other discussions. The quick resolution indicates a potential pattern for future tariff negotiations with Canada, Mexico, and China. Trump's approach signals an increase in uncertainty for these countries, particularly as he may impose significant tariffs soon, which some experts suggest could have negative implications for the markets in the short term.
