Trump’s latest tariff plan: An Up-to-Date Timeline
Pre-election

• Universal baseline tariff : A minimum 10-20% tariff on all imported goods and services
• Reciprocal tariffs: Matching the tariff rates imposed on exports of US goods and services
to other economies
• China: Withdrawal of China's most favored nation status. Higher tariff rates on imports from
China; 50-60% have been mentioned
• Other tariffs: Return of tariffs on steel or the introduction of new tariffs on imports from
Europe (e.g., autos)

Post-election
• Canada and Mexico: impose 25% tariffs on all products based on satisfactorily stopping
illegal immigration and the flow of illegal drugs such as fentanyl
• China: additional 10% tariff, above any additional tariffs, until Beijing cracks down on the
production of materials used in making fentanyl
• BRICs: commit to not creating a new currency or back any other currency to replace the
U.S. dollar, or face 100% Tariffs on US import
• Europe: To face significant tariffs unless they substantially increase imports of US oil, gas
• Universal tariff on critical imports: Targeted sector-based tariffs – e.g. steel & aluminum
• Greenland: Tariffs threatened on Denmark to encourage Greenland to become part of US

Summary of 2018-19 experience

Summary of 2018-19 experience

During the last trade war, the Trump administration appealed primarily to two legal
pathways to support trade actions:

Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962: Allows for the implementation of
1.
tariffs driven by national security considerations

Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974: Allows for the implementation of tariffs in
2. response to unfair trade practices by US trade partners

1977 – may be used

Mechanics of a trade war: How it can impact the
economy
Channels by which tariffs can negatively impact the economy
- Higher tariffs depress real incomes by raising prices, thereby denting consumer
spending
- Retaliatory tariffs from foreign countries depress US exports and output
- Dollar appreciation could limit the price rise but would also diminish the decline in US
imports and depress US exports, thereby reducing net exports and GDP
- These channels can be amplified by rising uncertainty and tightening financial
conditions, which can depress business investment

Channels by which tariffs can positively impact the economy


- As foreign goods and services become more expensive, consumers and businesses
may turn to domestically produced goods and services (where substitutes are
available), limiting imports and lifting output
- If tariffs are broad-based and persistent enough, they can incentivize a return of
production to the US, lifting US output and employment
- Over the longer-term, targeted tariffs could help protect critical industries and ensure
more resilient production / supply chains
- In the past, protectionism has helped to foster infant industries

Macroeconomic fluctuations often account for most of the risks associated with exposures to instruments that promise to pay fixed or variable interest rates. For an investor who
is long fixed-rate instruments (thus receiving these cash flows), increases in interest rates naturally lift the discount factors applied to the expected cash flows and thus cause a
loss. The longer the maturity of a certain cash flow and the higher the move in the discount factor, the higher will be the loss. Upside surprises in inflation, fiscal funding needs,
and FX depreciation rates are among the most common adverse macroeconomic shocks to receivers. But counterparty exposure, issuer creditworthiness, client segmentation,
regulation (including changes in assets holding limits for different types of investors), changes in tax policies, currency convertibility (which may constrain currency conversion,
repatriation of profits and/or liquidation of positions), and settlement issues related to local clearing houses are also important risk factors. The sensitivity of fixed-income
instruments to macroeconomic shocks may be mitigated by indexing the contracted cash flows to inflation, to FX depreciation, or to specified interest rates - these are common
in emerging markets. The index fixings may - by construction - lag or mis-measure the actual move in the underlying variables they are intended to track. The choice of the proper
fixing (or metric) is particularly important in swaps markets, where floating coupon rates (i.e., coupons indexed to a typically short-dated interest rate reference index) are
exchanged for fixed coupons. Funding in a currency that differs from the currency in which coupons are denominated carries FX risk. Options on swaps (swaptions) the risks
typical to options in addition to the risks related to rates movements.
Derivative transactions involve numerous risks including market, counterparty default and illiquidity risk. The appropriateness of these products for use by investors depends on
the investors' own circumstances, including their tax position, their regulatory environment and the nature of their other assets and liabilities; as such, investors should take
expert legal and financial advice before entering into any transaction similar to or inspired by the contents of this publication. The risk of loss in futures trading and options,
foreign or domestic, can be substantial. As a result of the high degree of leverage obtainable in futures and options trading, losses may be incurred that are greater than the
amount of funds initially deposited - up to theoretically unlimited losses. Trading in options involves risk and is not suitable for all investors. Prior to buying or selling an option,
investors must review the 'Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options", at https://www.theocc.com/company-information/documents-and-archives/publications. If you are
unable to access the website, please contact your Deutsche Bank representative for a copy of this important document.
Participants in foreign exchange transactions may incur risks arising from several factors, including the following: (i) exchange rates can be volatile and are subject to large
fluctuations; (ii) the value of currencies may be affected by numerous market factors, including world and national economic, political and regulatory events, events in equity and
debt markets and changes in interest rates; and (iii) currencies may be subject to devaluation or government-imposed exchange controls, which could affect the value of the
currency. Investors in securities such as ADRs, whose values are affected by the currency of an underlying security, effectively assume currency risk.
Unless governing law provides otherwise, all transactions should be executed through the Deutsche Bank entity in the investor's home jurisdiction. Aside from within this report,
important conflict disclosures can also be found at https://research.db.com/Research/ on each company's research page. Investors are strongly encouraged to review this

Backtested, hypothetical or simulated performance results have inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record based on trading actual client portfolios, simulated
results are achieved by means of the retroactive application of a backtested model itself designed with the benefit of hindsight. Taking into account historical events the
backtesting of performance also differs from actual account performance because an actual investment strategy may be adjusted any time, for any reason, including a response
to material, economic or market factors. The backtested performance includes hypothetical results that do not reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings or the
deduction of advisory fees, brokerage or other commissions, and any other expenses that a client would have paid or actually paid. No representation is made that any trading
strategy or account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. Alternative modeling techniques or assumptions might produce significantly different
results and prove to be more appropriate. Past hypothetical backtest results are neither an indicator nor guarantee of future returns. Actual results will vary, perhaps materially,
from the analysis.

The method for computing individual E,S,G and composite ESG scores set forth herein is a novel method developed by the Research department within Deutsche Bank AG,
computed using a systematic approach without human intervention. Different data providers, market sectors and geographies approach ESG analysis and incorporate the
findings in a variety of ways. As such, the ESG scores referred to herein may differ from equivalent ratings developed and implemented by other ESG data providers in the market
and may also differ from equivalent ratings developed and implemented by other divisions within the Deutsche Bank Group. Such ESG scores also differ from other ratings and
rankings that have historically been applied in research reports published by Deutsche Bank AG. Further, such ESG scores do not represent a formal or official view of Deutsche
Bank AG. It should be noted that the decision to incorporate ESG factors into any investment strategy may inhibit the ability to participate in certain investment opportunities that
otherwise would be consistent with your investment objective and other principal investment strategies. The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable investments
may be lower or higher than portfolios where ESG factors, exclusions, or other sustainability issues are not considered, and the investment opportunities available to such
portfolios may differ. Companies may not necessarily meet high performance standards on all aspects of ESG or sustainable investing issues; there is also no guarantee that any
company will meet expectations in connection with corporate responsibility, sustainability, and/or impact performance.
