Deep dives
Impact of Trump's Tariffs on Global Trade
The global trade landscape has been drastically altered by recent tariffs imposed by Donald Trump, significantly affecting the United States and its trading partners. These tariffs are expected to increase import costs, leading to inflation in the U.S., which will have a ripple effect on economies worldwide. Australia, in particular, faces challenges due to its reliance on exports, especially to major trading partners like China and Vietnam, whose economies may contract as a result of reduced demand from the U.S. The long-term implications for Australia could be severe if these countries decrease their imports of Australian commodities.
