The Trump administration is barreling down on a collision course to achieve three divergent goals, as difficult as they may be, leaving nations unsure about the best strategy to approach negotiations. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Raising revenues:<\/strong> Trump believes the tariffs will make up for lost revenues, as the US heads towards a huge budget deficit. The administration \u2014 which says that America is \u201csubsidizing\u201d other countries \u2014 predicts that the tariffs will bring in huge sums that could close the national deficit, which hit USD 711 bn in October 2024, up some 39% y-o-y from USD 510, according to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/fiscaldata.treasury.gov\/americas-finance-guide\/national-deficit\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">US federal government data<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Balancing out the trade deficit: <\/strong>The US trade deficit went up around 17% y-o-y, reaching USD 918.4 bn in 2024, according to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bea.gov\/news\/2025\/us-international-trade-goods-and-services-december-and-annual-2024#:~:text=For%202024%2C%20the%20goods%20and%20services%20deficit%20was%20%24918.4%20billion,up%20%24253.3%20billion%20from%202023.\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">data<\/a> from the US Department of Commerce.
