US tariffs return to centre stage amid growing trade, policy uncertainty
Tariff policy is once again moving to the forefront of global trade tensions, as major economies consider raising or re-imposing import duties. According to the World Economic Forum, renewed US tariff plans and broader global trade-flow disruptions reflect deeper structural shifts in supply-chain geography, geopolitical risk and industrial policy. Markets and corporations are being forced to factor in elevated protectionism, while emerging-market exporters face higher barriers.
Observers say this environment may raise production costs, reduce investment flexibility and slow long-term growth in vulnerable regions.
