Impact of Tariffs on Global Trade

Recent announcements from the Trump administration regarding tariffs have sent shockwaves through the stock market, raising concerns about global trade dynamics. The tariffs were initially introduced to address trade deficits and issues at the U.S. borders, particularly involving Canada, Mexico, and China. Investors are particularly wary as about 180 countries are now affected, indicating a massive escalation in trade tensions. The tariffs, rather than being reciprocal, may apply differently based on categories, complicating the situation further and leading to potential job losses and shrinking domestic production.
