At a Harvard University lecture, former U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo delivered a powerful critique of Donald Trump’s tariff strategy, labeling it a “disastrous policy.” 🔥
She argued that imposing steep taxes on imports has pushed America’s closest allies away, eroding trust and cooperation. Without strong partnerships, Raimondo warned, the U.S. could find itself isolated and vulnerable on the global stage. 🌐
“We need our allies by our side, not across the table,” she said, stressing that economic ties and diplomatic support are crucial to national security and economic growth. 📈
Raimondo’s remarks highlight a key debate: Should trade measures be used as leverage, or do they risk damaging the very alliances that underpin international stability? For young professionals and students, these questions are more than headlines—they shape the future of global business and politics. 💼
As Latin American youth tune in for insights on market trends and world affairs, Raimondo’s warning serves as a reminder: In an interconnected world, isolation can be the greatest risk of all. 🌍
