Global trade tensions rise?

When major economies like the US impose tariffs, it can spark similar actions from other countries, leading to a 'trade war'. This makes it harder for everyone to trade freely, potentially slowing down global economic growth and making goods more expensive worldwide. It also puts strain on international relationships and cooperation.
