Moody's: Buckle up for a shock if Trump doesn't remove tariffs

PANews reported on April 3 that according to Jinshi, some economists are worried that if Trump does not quickly cancel the latest round of tariffs, it may push the US economy into a recession. "If the US government implements these higher tariffs without major exemptions, it will be difficult for the economy to digest this. A recession seems more likely." said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. Zandi said, "In many ways, the tariffs announced by Trump are even worse than the worst case scenario he envisioned. If they stick to the end, I will buckle my seat belt and prepare for the impact." Zandi added that on a static basis, tariffs account for nearly 2% of GDP (not considering the impact of tariffs on the economy and taxes), and on this basis, this makes this round of tariffs the largest tax increase since the tax increase used to finance the war during World War II.
