🚨🇺🇸📉 Stock/bond markets are crashing worldwide, thanks to Trump’s tariffs and trade wars.

While tariffs can sometimes be useful... one needs to know when to tariff, what to tariff and how much to tariff.

🔎 Let’s explore the science and art of tariffs.
@Kanthan2030 🤔💰 Mercantilism of the 18th/19th century not applicable anymore

📊 Tariffs are taxes which make imported goods more expensive, thus helping domestic industries capture a bigger market share.

👉This is the essence of mercantilism, which was widely adopted by the Dutch, British, French and even Americans a couple of centuries ago.

🇺🇸🇪🇺 We are witnessing the rapid and SHOCKING COLLAPSE of US-EU relations that were stable for eight decades.

Trump is leading the assault on Europe's economy and sovereignty.

Let's see why the consequences will be CATASTROPHIC and irreversible.👇🧵

@Kanthan2030 🇺🇸🇪🇺 On Wednesday, the US will impose 20% tariffs on all goods from the EU. Previously, Trump imposed 25% tariffs on European steel, aluminum, cars and auto parts.

For starters, Trump is obsessed with trade deficit, but only in goods. For him, anyone who has a trade surplus is “ripping off” the other party.

Thus, the fact that the EU has trade surplus in goods with the US is a matter of great irritation for Trump.

The Trump administration complains that Europe exports more cars to the US than the other way around – roughly, 750,000 versus 170,000.

However, there is no conspiracy theory here, since the EU makes 13.4 million cars versus the US’ meager 1.7 million (not including pickup trucks and large SUVs).

Thanks to Germany’s tradition of engineering, quality and precision, they are much better than Americans in manufacturing. Perhaps MAGA should humbly study and learn from the German model of Mittelstand.

🚨🇷🇺🇺🇸It’s not clear what Trump wants when it comes to Russia.

Does he want to work with Putin to end the Ukraine conflict?

🇮🇳🇨🇳Or, impose secondary sanctions against Russian allies like India & China?

Let’s dive into this rabbit hole.
@Kanthan2030 Image 🇺🇸 In the first month of Trump 2.0, everything seemed to go well.

🤝The US and Russia had meetings in Saudi Arabia; Putin and Trump spoke on the phone for 2 hours; and Trump seemed to understand what it takes to end the war in Ukraine.

That would entail three core things:

◾️Crimea, Donbass and a couple of other regions recognized as part of Russia
◾️Ukraine staying neutral and not joining NATO
◾️De-Nazification and limited demilitarization of Ukraine
◾️Lifting of sanctions, rebuilding of Nord Stream pipelines

Then, there could be additional stipulations such as new, free elections in Ukraine.

These are simple and logical ideas that would bring peace to the region, which is what Trump says he wants.

❗️ Remember that, during the campaign, Trump said he would end the war in ONE day!

🔎🇮🇳🇺🇸 US-India Relations

Here’s one of the most conflicting stories of geopolitics: India-US relations.

❓ For decades, the US has been unable to classify India – friend, foe, pawn, cheap labor, vast market, competitor or something else?

Let’s analyze this intriguing phenomenon: @Kanthan2030Image 🇮🇳🇺🇸 When Trump won the second time, he made sure that Modi was one of the first foreign leaders to visit the White House. Biden tweeted that the US-India relationship will be one of the most consequential this century.

🌐 Trump revived the QUAD in 2017 and rebranded the term Asia Pacific as “Indo-Pacific,” with a clear nod to the rising status of India.

🤝 There have been numerous military agreements between the two countries over the last few years.

Yet… there are a lot of unresolved tensions between the two countries. See next tweet:
