Economic Tensions: Trump's Trade Policy Risks

Donald Trump announced the introduction of tariffs at a rate of 25% on goods imported from Mexico and Canada.

From Frankfurt, a financial expert from the European Central Bank Izabel Shnabel stated on Sunday that the outbreak of a trade war with the United States under the leadership of Donald Trump is "entirely possible" and warned that it could have negative consequences for economic activity and prices.
