Donald Trump is reviving his aggressive trade tactics, threatening up to 40% tariffs on 14 nations starting August 1st unless new trade deals are signed.
Affected Countries Include:
🇯🇵 Japan – 25%
🇰🇷 South Korea – 25%
🇲🇾 Malaysia – 36%
🇱🇦 Laos & 🇲🇲 Myanmar – 40% (highest!)
🇿🇦 South Africa, 🇮🇩 Indonesia, 🇧🇩 Bangladesh & others also targeted.
Why It Matters:
Could shake global markets 📉
Supply chains under pressure 🏗️
Crypto may see renewed interest as hedge
Inflation risk
Countries like the UK, Vietnam & China already struck deals to avoid tariffs.
Thoughts? Is this protectionism 2.0 or
a power play?
