💥30% Tariffs: The Geo-Economics of #TRUMP Returns to the Scene
Donald Trump's announcement of a 30% tariff on the EU and Mexico, effective in August 2025, is not just a footnote but a critical marker in the evolution of global trade policy. This maneuver underscores a persistent vision of unilateral economic rebalancing, using tariff power as the main instrument against perceived challenges – from chronic trade deficits to the fentanyl crisis.
Experts analyze this not only as protectionism but as a strategy of economic coercion. The potential impact on global supply chains and inflationary dynamics is significant, raising the question of whether the multilateral trading system is witnessing accelerated erosion. Uncertainty remains about the responsiveness of affected partners and the long-term viability of this "shock and awe" policy.
