Abstract

A trade war is a conflict that occurs between two or more countries in the sector of trade. The conflict can be seen in the case of an increase in tariffs or other obstacles made to disrupt the economic balance of a country, so that the country changes its economic policy or trade. One issue in trade wars involves environmental matters. What are they? The findings of this study indicate that there are three main environmental issues in a trade war: environmental harm, health standards on traded products, and human rights issues. The study also found that there were typically double standards in trade political policies that were suggestive of trade wars. This study recommends that it is very necessary to build a world dialogue forum, to formulate environmental problems and economic interests.
