See… I ponder if the best reaction is to do nothing.
Don’t react, don’t slap on reciprocal tariffs, stand up to Trump by grand standing.
As a side - it looks to me that Trump & Co are actively building the perfect economic storm.
Mass government lays off, huge indiscriminate cuts to government spending and welfare, tariffs - these are all measures that have the potential to further drag an economy suffering from inflation.
Indeed I think the haste and absolutism that is being shown across each government department feels like a sure fire recipe for disaster.
