Trump's Tariff Announcement

The article discusses the chaotic announcement by President Trump of widespread tariffs impacting 185 countries, including the remote Heard and McDonald Islands. The announcement, initially hampered by strong winds, was met with widespread concern and sparked various economic projections.

Economic Impact Projections

Several institutions projected the economic impacts:

• Goldman Sachs: 15% tariff increase leading to a 35% chance of recession and higher inflation.
• Yale University's Budget Office: 13% tariff increase leading to price increases, GDP reduction, and household losses.
• Japan's Jetro: 25% tariffs resulting in a 0.6% global GDP drop in 2027, heavily impacting the US.
• Aston University: 25% tariffs with retaliations leading to a $1.4 trillion global economic loss, similar to the 1930 trade war.

The inclusion of the Heard and McDonald Islands highlighted the expansive and potentially devastating reach of Trump's tariffs.
