Tariff war risks sinking world into new Great Depression, International Chamber of Commerce warns
Summary

The world economy could face a crash similar to the Great Depression of the 1930s unless the U.S. rows back on its plans to impose steep tariffs on imports, a senior official at the International Chamber of Commerce warned.
“Our deep concern is that this could be the start of a downward spiral that puts us in 1930s trade-war territory,” said Andrew Wilson, deputy secretary-general of the ICC, which promotes global business and trade. High tariffs on foreign goods imported into the U.S. in that decade contributed to a damaging global recession. The downturn plunged nearly a third of the global workforce into unemployment and slashed production at heavyweight industrial economies Germany and the U.S. by half, according to research from the International Monetary Fund.

The likelihood of a similarly severe blow to the global economy is high, Wilson said in an interview Tuesday. “Right now it’s a coin-flip,” he said. “It comes down to whether the U.S. administration is willing to rethink the utility of tariffs.”

His comments come after tariffs of 25% on imports from Canada and Mexico came into effect in the U.S., stymieing hopes of an eleventh-hour reprieve. Fresh duties were also added to Chinese goods sold to the country. Trump has promised to impose similar tariffs on European goods, raising the prospect of retaliation in kind and a global trade war.
“That puts us in a remarkably precarious position that will cloud the global economy for the coming months,” Wilson said.
President Trump was voted into office in November after a campaign centred on pledges to protect U.S. manufacturers by raising the barrier for imports into the country from abroad. Trump has repeatedly pointed to the U.S. deficit in its good trade with many partners, including China and the EU, calling those gaps unfair. But economists warn that a steep rise in import costs could cause a renewed spike in price inflation in the U.S.
“There is a real risk to [American] domestic economy of taking a tariff-led approach,” Wilson said. Many U.S. trade-sensitive stocks suffered sell-offs Monday after Trump reiterated his tariff plans.

BGOL's MAGA members have reached a level of stupidity that makes whiteboytx seem like a genius.
I've said before, I completely understand if a person is a fiscal or social conservative or both but Trump is something else, and these idiots have allowed Tariq Nasheed to turn them into one-issue voters as it relates to Transgenderism and the pipe dream of reparations.

in full effect!
This is the answer, Big Tex!! I've been hearing every kind of theory about what happened to the Democratic Party since November 6, and this is the answer!!!! Since 1968, the Democratic Party has been trying to be "Republican-Lite," trying to appeal to a group of people who left them in 1968 for Richard Nixon and George fucking Wallace, and that includes Obama, Harris, and especially Clinton. They constantly speak to "unions" and "the Middle Class," yet they literally will not utter the words poor or poverty in any of their messaging. Ever! Yet, that's the reality millions of their potential black and brown voters are living in all over Chicago, in Houston, in Newark, in Cleveland, in Gary, and in rural areas all over the country. While they are constantly going after "soccer moms" and union members, they won't even speak to the people who should be at the very heart of their voting base. Consequently, these folks stay at home, election after election after election. Dr. William Barber has been trying, without much success, to get the Democratic Party to spend more of their time and money targeting these folks, and they simply won't do it. Yet, these are the same areas Republicans relentlessly target for voter suppression year after year. They know these areas, if they are ever politically energized, would bring on their destruction. The problem is, the Democratic Party doesn't realize it.

“No one really knows how close Sylvester and I were,” he continued. “We’ve been together in good times and bad times. He asked me to speak at his mother’s funeral. I was there when [his daughter] Ashley was born, he was there when [my children] Whitney and Sarah were born.”
