There appears to be a gap between the expectations of the U.S. administration and the reality that has emerged following the imposition of tariffs. The trajectory of both the American and global economies, as well as international trade relations, may spiral out of control in ways that will be difficult, if not impossible, to correct. Despite the temporary suspension of tariffs on countries that refrain from retaliatory measures, both the United States and China remain firmly committed to their retaliatory economic policies. This persistence alone could push the global economy into a dark tunnel of grim and uncertain scenarios.
