Donald Trump
President of the United States
As of April 2025, Donald Trump is serving his second, non-consecutive term as the 47th president of the United States after defeating Joe Biden in the 2024 election. His administration has enacted sweeping changes, including major staff cuts across federal agencies under the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, and rolled back diversity initiatives while pushing hardline immigration and citizenship policies—many of which have sparked legal challenges and nationwide protests. On the global stage, Trump has reignited trade tensions with China by imposing high tariffs, prompting retaliatory measures and market instability. He has also initiated nuclear talks with Iran and continues to promote his “America First” doctrine. Amid his controversial return to power, Trump remains a polarizing figure, with recent developments even including scrutiny of Wikipedia's neutrality and online censorship concerns raised by its co-founder Larry Sanger.
Trump Tariffs Threaten Sports Industry: Global Impact Felt in Football, Olympics, and Beyond
- Thursday, 03 April 2025
The impact of US President Donald Trump’s tariffs on sports could be significant, with car manufacturer Ineos Automotive facing 25% tariffs on vehicles exported to the US. This could affect businesses that invest or sponsor sports events, such as Hyundai Group and Fifa, which may reassess their deals. Sports teams and athletes sponsored by sportswear brands like Nike, Adidas, and Puma may also be affected, but experts say the impact should be limited due to consumers being used to premium prices in sports retail. The tariffs could also affect the atmosphere at sports events hosted by the US, such as the Ryder Cup and 2026 World Cup.
