đŸ”„ Greetings, Maritime Mavericks!

Yesterday, President Trump announced the most radical shift in U.S. trade policy in over a century.

📜 A 10% universal tariff on all imports.
⚠ Plus "reciprocal" tariffs—up to 49%—on dozens of countries based on how they treat U.S. goods.

📉 The markets tanked.
🌐 Allies protested.
🚱 Global supply chains shook.

But is this move bold strategy—or reckless gamble?

👇 Dive into the 10 questions that explain everything:

❓Why did Trump drop these tariffs now?
❓What exactly changed—and how extreme is it?
❓Which countries are hit hardest, and why?
❓What will this cost U.S. consumers and businesses?
❓Is the U.S. ready to replace imports with domestic production?
❓Who are the big losers—and are any sectors at risk of collapse?
❓Are U.S. allies retaliating—and is a global trade war on?
❓Will this push the U.S. into recession?
❓Is this policy really about fairness—or a political move?
❓What’s the big-picture impact for global trade?

🔍 These questions unpack the present—but below, we also reveal what’s coming next, what it means for global trade, and why it could redefine the decade.

👇 Dive into the 10 questions that explain everything:

❓Why did Trump drop these tariffs now?

❓What exactly changed—and how extreme is it?
🧹 Every U.S. import is now hit with a 10% base tariff—with some countries facing up to 54%. It’s the broadest tariff policy since 1910.
