The latest numbers, and those that are airs, put the supply chains at risk. The shelves should be empty.
Donald Trump He returned to the White House and, as he promised, is revolutionizing various aspects of economy in the US – and in many other countries.
The famous tariffs move with business in Europe, China, or for example in the Japan – which on Saturday warned that he will not sign any agreement with the current US presidency without the new rates to be magazines, namely the 25% increase in vehicle imports.
More come there: the US president said on Monday that new tariffs will be imposed on pharmaceutical products “In the next two weeks.” Trump has already signed an executive order to promote the manufacture of national pharmacist products.
David Goldman leaves a serious warning at: Donald Trump is taking the US to another type of pandemic, 145.
145 is the portrait of at least 145% on import coming from China.
But it is more than that: the announced commercial agreement with one of the affected countries (it is not known which) has not yet appeared; Week after week, the president is announcing business agreements – but nothing; and economic damage extend.
A recession It may be very close. Not only in the US, but in many countries, David Goldman warns.
There are already confirming the decreasing trend: last week the report of the first quarter of 2025 of Gross Domestic Product (Start), that reveals the first contraction economy in the US since the beginning of 2022. companies started storing goods to anticipate the rates; And that is noted in the economy.
It should be reinforced one detail: the numbers are from the first trimester. The rates only started creating this “madness” in April, that is, in the second quarter. That is, the next report should be much worse.
Returning to China: Such 145% tariffs on Chinese imports and a 125% retaliation tariff from China over US products practically interrupted trade between the two great powers – and China is “only” one of the most important economic partners in the US.
With all this, economist David Goldman, the USA “are a few days of disorders in the supply chain similar to a pandemicwhich can lead to higher prices and empty shelves“In a scenario that will remember the worst times of Covid-19.
Necessary, but expelled
However, it leaves another important warning about the economy in the US: Donald Trump is making a mass deportation of immigrants, when urgently needs workers.
The new migratory policy is already provoking scarcity of workers – and businessmen have already begun to protest.
Namely in agriculture: Many of the farmers, who even voted for the Republican Party in the elections, now complain because there is not enough labor in agriculture.
Deportations, “tights”, also reach other sectors and even highly qualified specialists They have difficulty entering the US.
There are experts who consider Trump’s migratory policy to be a contradiction with your view of economic policy.
If Donald Trump wants to bring large -scale production back to his country, he urgently needs workers for it. And is expeling many of them.
