Economic Turmoil: The Threat of Stagflation in the USA

The United States is on the brink of stagflation, a predicament that could have widespread repercussions, including for Europe. President Trump's tariff policies are creating a cycle of stagnation and rising inflation, leaving the Federal Reserve in a precarious position.

As consumer confidence wanes amid chaotic policies, fears of recession grow. Analysts warn that prolonged uncertainty may lead to economic distress for both businesses and consumers.

The global economy is also at risk, with French central banker Francois Villeroy de Galhau highlighting the potential for significant impacts on the eurozone. Trump's ongoing criticism of the Federal Reserve's monetary stance further complicates the situation, as his calls for interest rate cuts clash with inflation concerns.

The convergence of these factors suggests a looming economic storm that could mirror the challenges faced in the 1970s, threatening not only the U.S. economy but also its international partners.
