Summary of Nile TV Live Newsroom 8 4 2025 Voice of Dr Ahmed Khattab

Summary

In this segment of Nile TV Live Newsroom, Dr. Ahmed Khattab, an economic expert, discusses the implications of the European Commission's proposed 25% counter tariffs on various U.S. goods, in the context of President Donald Trump's existing tariffs. He highlights that Trump's tariffs have affected numerous countries, including China, Europe, and Vietnam, with varying percentages of tariffs imposed. Dr. Khattab warns that these tariffs could lead to a global economic downturn, increasing inflation rates and negatively impacting the U.S. economy.

He notes that many American citizens and congressional representatives oppose Trump's tariff decisions, which they believe will burden the economy. Dr. Khattab anticipates that Trump may need to adjust these tariffs in response to retaliatory actions from China. He mentions that the U.S. is poised to impose even higher tariffs on Chinese goods, which could cumulatively reach 104%.

The expert emphasizes that these tariff increases will likely lead to higher prices for imported goods, particularly in the automotive sector, and will deter foreign investment in the U.S. economy. He concludes by expressing concern over the long-term repercussions of this trade war on the global economy.
