The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
The redirection of Chinese exports from the US to Europe risks a 'China Shock 2.0', potentially leading to job losses and economic stagnation in Europe, similar to the impact on the American heartland in the 2000s, and may prompt increased tariffs from the EU.
