The World Trade Organization (WTO) has issued a warning that global trade growth, which initially showed unexpected resilience in 2025, is projected to slow sharply in 2026. This deceleration is largely attributed to the ongoing impact of President Trump’s tariffs, which have been a consistent source of concern for the organization. The WTO has frequently voiced its worries about the economic effects of these tariffs, which are now expected to have a more pronounced effect on the global trade landscape.
President Trump’s imposition of tariffs has been a recurring issue in international trade discussions, and the WTO has repeatedly highlighted the adverse consequences these policies may have on the global economy. Analysts suggest that the tariffs could lead to retaliatory measures from trading partners, further complicating the already fragile state of global trade relations.
