Impacted countries may respond in (at least) three ways: imposing retaliatory tariffs on theUS, resorting to industrial policy to support their producers, and/or signing trade agreements to find new marketaccess opportunities. Relying on a quantitative trade model, we study the trade and welfare implications ofthese policy responses. Retaliation hurts US exports, can improve the terms of trade, but also createsdistortions. Subsidies can expand exports, making up for lost markets in the US, but they are costly, increasedistortions especially for the subsidizers, and worsen trade diversion effects that could eventually lead to newtariffs targeting subsidizers. Seeking deeper integration with other partners can help countries expand tradewhile reducing distortions.
