What Happens After Trump's Tariffs Are Imposed?

2025-04-04 15:57:43

A global recession is expected. Mass layoffs and cost cuts will begin.

The GDP of the United States (24%) is almost a quarter of the world GDP. The United States has an impact on the entire world economy. International trade in 50% of cases is conducted in dollars. If the U.S. buys less because of tariffs, it will cause a downturn in the entire global economy in the short term. In the long term, confidence in the U.S. and the dollar will fall, and the focus will shift to China and the yuan as the world's second-largest economy. This whole process will be painful and will be accompanied by massive cost cuts, optimization of business processes, layoffs and closure of enterprises. The United States itself will suffer greatly and will not be able to recover from such a policy, since its factories are distributed around the world and depend on the supply of components and raw materials.

From April 3, 2025, 25% duties on car imports will come into effect, and by May 3, 2025, on auto parts manufactured outside the United States. From April 5, 2025, the minimum basic customs duty of 10% will come into force. From April 9, 2025, the rest of the tariffs will come into effect. The minimum base tariff of 10% will be applied to all countries. Most likely, this will all end after Trump's change as president in 2029. On April 8, Trump introduced a 3-month delay for those countries that did not impose retaliatory tariffs.

Why is the coronavirus pandemic not declared over?

WHO pursues commercial goals

WHO has long abandoned both the six-dimensional scale and precisely fixed quantitative indicators, which opened the way to completely arbitrary decisions, without bearing any responsibility for the objectivity of the data. Meanwhile, previously, the international standard for declaring an epidemic was considered to be a situation where at least 5% of the country's population was ill, a pandemic - either at least 10%, or an epidemic in many countries. Therefore, from this point of view, there was no epidemic or pandemic in the world.

Official criteria for completing the pandemic is difficult to formulate. But they began her criteria!

What will the US achieve with its demands regarding Greenland, Canada, and the like?

2026-02-05 06:12:50

The United States will achieve greater control, access to resources, increased military presence, and political dependence of its allies.

The U.S. will not succeed in annexing Greenland, obtaining territorial concessions from Canada, or achieving a legitimate redrawing of borders, but even without purchasing territory, the U.S. can secure profitable contracts, expanded bases, and exclusive access to natural resources. In the long term, this will lead to a quiet distancing from Washington, an increase in autonomous defense policies in the EU and Canada, as well as a reduced willingness to automatically support the U.S. during crises. In 10-15 years, this could have repercussions in Asia, harm American interests at sea, and weaken the dollar as a 'currency of trust.'

Canada and Denmark are soft allies who publicly express outrage but in practice give way. In doing so, the US itself is pushing the world toward the formula 'Better to have several centers of power than one unpredictable one.'
