Escalation of the U.S.-China Trade War
The ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China has intensified, contributing to global economic uncertainty. Recent actions include the U.S. imposing tariffs as high as 145% on Chinese exports, while China has retaliated with tariffs of 125% and restrictions on crucial rare earth minerals.
