Yellen Criticises Trump’s Trade Policies, Says Washington Failed Its Allies

Former US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has sharply criticised President Donald Trump over his trade policies and his administration’s treatment of US allies.

Yellen argued that Washington’s approach had damaged international relations and weakened economic cooperation among allied countries.

Her criticism focused on both the administration’s trade agenda and its handling of partnerships, linking its economic policies to broader strains in relations with allies.

Yellen characterised the approach as a failure by Washington to stand by its partners, arguing that the consequences extended beyond trade to cooperation between allied governments.
