Abstract
Trade wars, especially at the international level, are recognized as one of the most important economic and political challenges in the relations between countries. This article analyzes the three main tools of trade wars, including tariff increases, technology export bans, and protectionist policies, focusing on the economic confrontation between China and the United States. The aim of this research is to examine how the principles and rules of international economic law affect these tools and analyze the legal challenges associated with them. Using a descriptive-analytical method, while examining documents related to the World Trade Organization and bilateral agreements such as international investment agreements, as well as the role of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, the article focuses in particular on legal approaches to dealing with these tools and attempts to explain the limitations and opportunities available for resolving trade disputes from the perspective of international economic law. Finally, the article, looking at the China-US trade war, presents solutions for improving legal coordination in the field of global trade.
