Amid all the tariff threats and Executive Orders, most of the rest of the world will see a major expansion in global trade regardless of what Washington does
Interesting even-keeled comment amid the flooding zone. Perhaps because I have been thinking along these lines, I would note that the share of global trade represented by the US continues to fall, the reliance of the global south (and others) on the China market continues to rise, and as a result trade (i.e., tariffs) used as a tool of political leverage by the US is likely to have unintended if not outright counterproductive consequences.
The consequences may be unintended, but they are foreseeable!
