“China has many weapons to respond to the US and is destroying Trump.” Aguilar
Emiliano García Coso, a professor of ICADE of International Law and International Relations, affirms that the consequences of tariff measures were predictable “from minute one”, since all market indicators pointed out that a confrontation with key partners such as China or the European Union would have devastating effects. COSO emphasizes that the results are already in sight: inflation is 3% and the International Monetary Fund reduces the growth forecasts of US GDP from 2.8% to 1.8%.
Juan Antonio Aguilar, director of the Spanish Geopolitics Institute, says Donald Trump “has a plan.” According to its assessment, the American economic environment is tension by factors such as the high level of debt, the loss of dollar hegemony globally, growing commercial competition, the urgent need for reindustrialization and a strong internal political opposition. “They have developed an action plan to address these situations,” he says, although he clarifies that another thing is “how Trump expresses it”, in reference to his direct style.
