British economist John McLean isn’t mincing words about the ripple effects of shifting U.S. trade policies. As chairman of the China UK Business Development Centre, he’s sounding the alarm: escalating tariff threats are fueling uncertainty so severe that businesses worldwide are hitting pause on investments. 🚨
"The global economy isn’t a chessboard where one player can dictate the game," McLean said, urging nations to prioritize pragmatic cooperation over political posturing. His warning comes as companies delay expansion plans, fearing unpredictable costs from sudden policy shifts.
While McLean didn’t single out specific countries, his call for dialogue echoes growing concerns among young professionals and entrepreneurs navigating volatile markets. 💼 For investors eyeing Asia, the stakes are high—stability in cross-border trade could make or break next-gen startups.
Could this be a wake-up call for smarter collaboration? McLean thinks so: "Differences shouldn’t derail progress. The real win? Building bridges, not barriers." 🌉
