Global Trade War Is Inevitable Following Trumps Tariffs: Analyst

Political Analyst Thembisa Fakude says a global trade war is inevitable, as various countries are likely to retaliate against the tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump.

Last night, Trump announced tariffs on nearly all goods entering the United States.

These measures include a minimum tax of 10 percent on all imports, with higher rates applied to goods from trading partners that he claims are taking advantage of the US.
