Worst-case, it could shave off 0.6% of the GDPโ€”translating to billions in economic slowdowns. Businesses, especially small and medium ones, could struggle with rising input costs. Consumers might notice pricier electronics, clothing, and raw materials. And globally? This could lead to another trade war round, with retaliation from big players like the EU and China already bubbling
