How Much Will Trump’s #Tariffs Cost #US Importers?
As companies and consumers will largely bear the higher cost of importing goods, Mr. Trump’s trade policies could come with a large #economic toll. Consumer sentiment has begun to fall, inflation is expected to rise, and global stocks have been plunging. Even Mr. Trump has suggested that his policies could cause a recession.

The New York Times · How Much Will Trump’s Tariffs Cost U.S. Importers?By Lazaro Gamio

#Economic and #geopolitical analysts are not usually the greatest communicators. And this guy isn’t exactly stellar either, but his explanation of the #US #tariffs issues, what Trump's foreign policy stances have done to the US, and the cascading effects of both are really clearly laid out in an understandable way. It’s not the most thrilling of watches, but you’ll end up understanding it much better.

US & UK 1980s was stage 1 of the squeeze out. We're now in stage 4, where the middle class are the only asset holders left that the owner (upper?) class can squeeze.

Once there's nothing left of middle class assets, and they're not even creditworthy any more, the only remaining method of squeeze-out left to the upper class is stage 5 - war against each other for assets. This is basically pre-WW2 history returning.

Given U.S. #consumption is so important globally (two-thirds bigger than #EU consumption!) the #world 's #governments have now few options to counter #Trump 's #trade #war : #state #subsidies to impacted sectors and #economic or #fiscal stimulus to avoid #recession (both triggering higher public #debt ), counter-tarrifs, and new free-trade agreements with other countries. In most cases it will be a mixture of all and reconfigure #global trade flows and #market mecanisms.
