Impact of Tariffs on Economy

The introduction of tariffs has raised concerns about their negative impact on the economy, as highlighted by the Federal Reserve's projections for GDP growth being lowered. Economic instability is intensified by these policies, leading to a sense of uncertainty among businesses and state leaders.
