Leonardo Badea (BNR): Globalizarea renegociată: leadership american într-o lume a fragmentării economice • Newsweek România

Leonardo Badea from BNR discusses the implications of U.S. tariffs on global economic fragmentation, highlighting the EU's strategic dilemma. The shift from a free market to controlled economic blocs prioritizes supply security over cost efficiency. While the U.S. aims to protect its market, it faces significant losses due to trade interdependencies. The EU could suffer more, with potential GDP declines outpacing those of the U.S. and China. The current situation resembles a 'prisoner's dilemma,' where protectionism increases overall economic losses. Economists suggest that a renegotiated cooperation with Europe is essential for the U.S. to achieve its economic goals.
