TradeWatch Global Insights
In this first issue of the year, we look at how the global trade landscape is shifting due to the US new foreign trade policy, which includes increased tariffs on key imports. This has prompted retaliatory measures from affected nations, signaling a potential departure from the era of free trade.
While protectionism is on the rise, this period may also offer a chance to renegotiate trade agreements for greater equity. The responses to these tariffs will shape the future of international commerce for years to come.
