Analyst: Trump May Boost the US Economy Through Tariff Reduction and Tax Rebates

BlockBeats News, January 2nd, Ed Yardeni, President of Yardeni Research, predicted that Trump will shift tariffs from a barrier to a bargaining chip, driving the U.S. economy to achieve strong growth of over 3% through tariff reduction combined with a tax refund surge.

Price pressure will be the catalyst, forcing the Trump administration to transition from protectionism to trade moderation, using the already negotiated bargaining chip to lower tariffs. With the strategic goal achieved, the White House is now poised to alleviate inflationary pressures by cutting tariffs, with Treasury Secretary Benson also hinting at the diminishing effectiveness of tariffs.

Furthermore, Yardeni warned that in the event of a major geopolitical shock (such as a deterioration in the European situation), all economic forecasts would be invalidated. (Fx678)
