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.
