There is much uncertainty with respect to global trade. While geopolitical factors, war, weather, and demographic shifts have an impact, the factor with the largest near-term and possibly long-term impact is the uncertainty caused by unilateral trade conditions imposed by the US since April 2025. Since then, trade policy has shifted rapidly. Most recently – on February 20, 2206 – the U.S. Supreme Court struck down most of the Trump administration’s tariffs.

A day or so later, the administration raised it from 10% to 15%.
