Tariff Tantrum

Donald Trump’s at it again, saying he’ll hike global tariffs to 15%. This latest move shows he’s not backing down, despite a Supreme Court setback.

The Details

It’s a bold, if not entirely surprising, move from the president. He’s been keen on imposing steep import taxes for a while now. The question is, what’s the end game here? Is Trump trying to strong-arm other countries into better trade deals, or is this just a case of cutting off his nose to spite his face?

One thing’s for sure: it won’t be pretty. Higher tariffs mean higher prices for consumers, and that’s not exactly what the economy needs right now. But hey, don’t expect Trump to let a little thing like economic sense get in the way of his vision.
