What Are the Global Macroeconomic Risks and Growth Opportunities Emerging from Trump 2.0?
Near-term shocks amidst milder US policy moves; protracted trade wars will shave off 1.5% of global GDP growth in 2028
Overview
2025 onwards, the global trade and economic growth momentum will be a complex function of political, trade, and policy moves made under the second Trump administration in the United States (US). This Frost & Sullivan macroeconomic growth analysis lays down potential US policy scenarios (including tariffs, immigration, and foreign policy) to establish forecasts for 2025 and 2028 for global, US, China, Mexico, and Euro Area economies.
In baseline, we expect the impact on global GDP to remain muted between 2025 and 2028 mainly due to buoyant growth in key Asian emerging markets (EMs). Alternatively, in the conservative scenario, protracted trade wars can potentially shave off 1.5% of global GDP growth in 2028. At the country level, in 2028, the real GDP growth of the US could slow to 2.0% and a meager 0.5%, in baseline and conservative, respectively.
Trade and immigration regulations in the US might exacerbate recessionary conditions in the Canadian and Mexican economies in 2025. For instance, the Mexican economy is expected to face a contraction in 2025 within the baseline with a -0.4% growth rate and a -0.5% rate in a conservative case.
