This Trump Is Different: Three Geopolitical Views For 2025

by Matt Gertken, Chief Geopolitical/US Political Strategist  
  • Congress will pass tax cuts by end of 2025 producing a fiscal thrust of about 0.9% of GDP in 2026. 
  • Trump will count on that stimulus as a basis for slapping tariffs on leading trade partners.
  • China will retaliate against Trump and stimulate its domestic economy, while pursuing stronger trade ties with other countries. Europe will also retaliate. 
  • Geopolitical risk will shift from Ukraine-Russia to Israel-Iran, where the conflict will continue to escalate until a crisis point is reached within 2025.
