  • The World Bank on Thursday warned that U.S. across-the-board tariffs of 10% could reduce already lackluster global economic growth of 2.7% in 2025 by 0.3 percentage point if America's trading partners retaliate with tariffs of their own.

The World Bank has issued a warning that the U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports, which were reinstated by President Joe Biden, could negatively impact global economic growth in 2025. These tariffs, initially imposed by former President Donald Trump, have been maintained and even expanded, affecting a range of products from electric vehicles to semiconductors. According to the World Bank's Global Economic Prospects report, these trade barriers could lead to a decrease in global GDP by 0.2% to 0.8% in 2025, depending on the extent of retaliation from China and other affected countries. The report also highlights the potential for increased costs for consumers, disruptions in supply chains, and a broader economic slowdown due to heightened trade tensions. Additionally, the World Bank suggests that these tariffs might encourage a shift towards protectionism globally, further complicating international trade relations.
