S&P India, South Korea, Thailand Most at Risk from Potential Trump Tariffs

India, South Korea, and Thailand are the AsiaPacific economies most vulnerable to possible tariff hikes under US President Donald Trumps administratio

India, South Korea, and Thailand are the AsiaPacific economies most vulnerable to possible tariff hikes under US President Donald Trumps administration, according to S&P Global Ratings. According to the study, these countries have more significant weighted average tariffs on U.S. goods than the U.S. imposes on imports from these countries. As such, they are more vulnerable to retaliatory tariffs the United States imposes. Thailand, South Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam may be most affected economically because of their high trade exposure to the U.S. market. India and Japan, on the other hand, have more domestically focused economies, which would provide some protection against these tariff effects. Read More..
