U.S. President Donald Trump has once again grabbed global attention by imposing steep tariffs, using them as a show of economic strength. However, experts warn that the effects may not be long-lasting, as the policy’s impact is beginning to backfire.
The tariff measures have triggered friction in the global economy, pushing nations into forming separate trade blocs. This fragmentation is straining cross-border commerce and souring economic relations.
Interestingly, Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga had predicted a major economic crisis for 2025–26 years ago. Known for her eerily accurate forecasts, her warning is being taken seriously, especially in light of current developments.
In a move that shocked markets, Trump announced a sudden 50% tariff on imports from Brazil and India — a decision widely seen as impulsive. The announcement sent shockwaves through both international stock exchanges and retail markets, shaking investor confidence and prompting caution toward new investments.
The BRICS nations, including Russia and China, have openly opposed the policy, arguing that such actions are harming global trade and escalating economic tensions.
Analysts caution that if this tariff war persists, it could lead to a market collapse, dragging the world economy into a deep crisis — precisely the scenario Baba Vanga warned about decades ago.
