- What are the potential downsides or challenges associated with Trump's proposed tariff policy?
- The study highlights the potential for retaliation from other countries and negative impacts on American companies and lower-income households, rendering Trump's tariff plan "impracticable and unsustainable."
- What would be the potential economic impact on Italy if Donald Trump's proposed tariffs are implemented?
- A 10% tariff increase on US imports, as promised by Trump, could cost Italy over $4 billion to over $7 billion, impacting key export sectors like fashion, mechanics, and agri-food.
- According to Prometeia's simulations, what are the estimated costs for Italy under different tariff scenarios?
- Prometeia's simulation shows that a generalized 10% tariff increase would cost Italy over \$7 billion, while a 10% increase on already-tariffed goods would exceed \$4 billion.
- How could Italian businesses potentially adapt or respond to mitigate the negative impacts of these proposed tariffs?
- Even if the US absorbed the increased tariffs to retain competitiveness, the overall economic impact on Italy would be significant, potentially disrupting export volumes and market positioning.
- Which Italian sectors would be most affected by Trump's proposed tariff increases, and how would they be affected differently under each scenario?
- The fashion industry would be the hardest hit in the first scenario (selective 10% tariff increase), while the mechanics industry would suffer the most in the second (generalized 10% tariff increase).
