Deep dives
Impact of Trump's Tariffs
The recent announcement of tariffs by President Trump marks a significant shift in U.S. trade policy, introducing a 10% baseline tariff on all trading partners and higher rates for specific countries. The tariffs, described by Trump as 'Liberation Day,' are intended to protect American manufacturers and reduce trade deficits, which he argues have harmed the U.S. economy. Critics, however, warn that these measures could lead to a harmful trade war, causing increased prices for consumers and economic uncertainty. Financial markets responded negatively to the announcement, with major indices experiencing sharp declines as investors reacted to the potential economic upheaval.
