U.S. Economic Instability and Trade Policies
The United States is facing mounting economic challenges due to aggressive tariff implementations. President Trump's recent imposition of a 10% universal tariff and a 145% tariff on Chinese imports has led to a sell-off in U.S. stocks, treasuries, and the dollar, with investors seeking safer assets like gold and the Swiss franc. Economists warn that these tariffs could lead to stagflation and irreversible damage to the U.S.'s reputation as a safe haven for investment.
