tariffs vs. trade war title

[edit]

ElijahPepe, as I see it Trump has now initiated two trade wars, most notably the China–United States trade war, but also involving imports from other nations, resulting in retaliation across the board.

now that Canada and Mexico have announced they will respond, the trade war is on, thus the title should reflect what Trump has effected, rather than the means he has used to effect it. soibangla (talk) 03:05, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is an improper title at this moment because no reliable sources have declared a trade war in this sense. CBC is the only source to claim that there is a trade war with Canada. If there is a trade war with Canada and Mexico, separate articles for both should be created. Trump may choose to impose further tariffs in other sectors and other countries without causing a trade war there. If there is a global trade war, then a separate article on that should be created. In addition, I take issue with "Second Trump trade war" as a title, because it suggest that there is a first Trump trade war—which the trade war with China should supposedly constitute, but "First Trump trade war" was also the moved title for the first Trump tariffs. "Trump trade war (2025–present)" would be better, though I still take issue with covering three trade wars in the same article. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 03:17, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
