On April 2, 2023, President Donald Trump announced a comprehensive set of tariffs, including a 10% tax on all imported goods and varying taxes on 60 other countries. This announcement had immediate repercussions on the U.S. and global stock markets, which experienced notable dips, raising concerns regarding a potential recession. Felix Tintelnot, an economics professor, highlighted that the uncertainty surrounding the evolving tariff policies leads to delayed investments, further fueling recession fears. Trump's tariffs were initially framed as reciprocal but turned out to be unilaterally initiated, complicating the economic landscape.
The uncertainty generated from the Trump Administration's tariff delays and changes has had the opposite effect, leading to a delay in investment and generating recession fears.
Trump's announcement of a 10% tariff on all imports marks a significant shift in U.S. trade policy, stirring concerns about a potential recession.
Economists warn that the impact of these tariffs is already visible, with the U.S. dollar falling to a six-month low against the EURO.
The Wall Street slump due to these tariffs has raised fresh fears among economists regarding the stability of U.S. economic growth.
