Asymmetrical Trade Agreements

Asymmetrical trade agreements are deals between countries where one nation has more power, influence, or economic strength than the other. Sometimes, the stronger country's terms heavily favor itself, possibly giving better access or fewer restrictions, while the weaker country's benefits are limited. This imbalance can influence the economic outcomes and relationships between the countries involved. Such agreements are common when one nation seeks to promote trade while maintaining advantages over less developed partners.
