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).
