When Trump began imposing tariffs on other countries, many assumed it was just a tactic to pressure China. But it soon became clear: this was not just about trade. It turned into a full-blown geopolitical drama, with tariffs used more as weapons than as economic tools.
Instead of reducing the trade deficit, the tariffs had the opposite effect: prices rose, farmers became anxious, and some factories closed. The collateral damage was severe: Wall Street wavered, stock markets trembled, and investors panicked.
Corporate leaders began sounding alarms, warning that economic uncertainty was only getting worse. Some even claimed: “We are already in a recession—we just haven’t realized it yet.” Chaos took hold of the markets.
Here is the detail:
When countries like the EU and Vietnam offered to eliminate tariffs together—a kind of truce—the Trump administration rejected it, blaming a hidden 'deception' in trade practices. It was then that it became clear: this was not about fairness. It was about reconfiguring the global rules to fit America's agenda.
And the twist?
While much of the economy struggled, defense stocks soared. As global confidence in U.S. leadership waned, European nations increased their own military spending—ironically boosting the U.S. defense sector, thanks to the instability caused by U.S. policy.
In summary:
This was not an average economic game—it was power projection, Trump style. And while global powers played chess, small businesses and ordinary people paid the price.
So if cryptocurrencies seem unstable right now, it makes sense—investors are flocking to anything that feels like a safe haven in chaotic times.
Today's trade wars go beyond goods—it's about control, influence, and survival.
