Trump Reciprocal Tariffs 2025: The Unraveling of the Global Order
Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs in 2025 are triggering a collapse of the global order. Explore the G-Minus world and how middle powers like Japan are responding to the chaos.
They've shaken hands, but their fists are clenched. Donald Trump's push for reciprocal tariffs is fundamentally altering the global economic landscape. As 2025 comes to a close, we've entered a G-Minus world—an era where global leadership is absent and the international order is rapidly unraveling.
Impact of Trump Reciprocal Tariffs 2025 on Markets
According to Reuters, the Trump administration's aggressive trade stance is forcing nations to reconsider their reliance on the U.S. consumer market. The reciprocal tariffs policy isn't just a political talking point; it's a massive shift that's driving up costs for manufacturers worldwide.
