Is it true that trade winds blow from east to west?

Yes. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that the trade winds blow from east to west, with some describing this as prevailing in the equatorial region. A few sources confirm the east-to-west direction only for specific regions such as the Pacific.
