Impact of Recent Trade Policies
The discussion highlights the significant consequences of recent trade policies, particularly the high tariffs imposed on Chinese imports. The impact of these tariffs could lead to a considerable downturn in the economy, akin to a recession, if they remain in place for an extended period.
