National leaders seem to have forgotten that autarky is incompatible with the high levels of prosperity enjoyed in the post-war era US president-elect Donald Trump's tariff threats are making headlines,

The article from MSN discusses the escalating global trade tensions due to protectionist measures implemented by the United States and other countries. It highlights how these measures, including tariffs and trade barriers, are not only disrupting international trade but also increasing the risk of economic warfare. The piece points out that such policies could lead to a broader conflict, potentially escalating into a "world on path to war," as nations retaliate against each other's trade restrictions. It mentions specific actions like the U.S. imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum, which have prompted countermeasures from affected countries. The article also touches on the broader implications, suggesting that these trade disputes could undermine global economic stability, foster geopolitical tensions, and possibly lead to military confrontations if not addressed through diplomatic channels.
