Impact of Trade Policies on Economic Growth

The trade policies implemented by the Trump administration have introduced significant uncertainty into the U.S. economy, impacting growth projections and investment behavior. CEOs and investors are responding to this volatility by tightening their spending and delaying investments, anticipating a potential slowdown in economic performance. Government data indicates a contraction of 0.3 percent in the U.S. economy as companies imported goods ahead of tariff implementations, reflecting immediate responses to trade concerns. This uncertainty is causing a re-evaluation of U.S. assets, with investors demanding a higher risk premium as they assess the future landscape of trade and economic policy.

I’ve been using Snipd for about a year and this app has been life changing. I listen to about 17 hours of podcasts a week and I want to take notes on 95% of them. Snipd makes it so easy to do. I can triple click my headphones and record a snip. The app also improves rapidly which is welcomed. It’s an easy subscription for me to pay.
🤯 How amazing is this app?!
