Former South African diplomat Gert Grobler recently told CMG that the US government's tariff actions are short-sighted and could force Americans to pay a heavy price. He warns that such protectionist policies challenge the very essence of free trade, potentially sparking wider economic repercussions. 💡
This message resonates across borders, especially in dynamic hubs across South and Southeast Asia. In bustling cities like Mumbai, Jakarta, and Singapore, tech startups and creative ventures thrive on open markets and global connectivity. Any disruption to free trade could ripple through industries, affecting innovation and everyday digital experiences. 🚀
