This week in Macro (7th Feb 2025) | How U.S. tariffs are affecting Mexico, Canada, China & Europe

The U.S. is weaponizing tariffs—but is this about protecting American jobs, or something much bigger? With Trump imposing 25% tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, while pushing for border security deals, the real economic war is playing out behind the scenes. Meanwhile, China’s Belt and Road Initiative is outpacing the IMF, and the Federal Reserve is at odds with Trump’s economic vision.

In this macro segment from BitcoinHardTalk Episode 69: Why Greenland, Gaza & Panama Need Bitcoin Reserves, Simon Dixon breaks down how tariffs are reshaping global trade, how de-dollarization is accelerating, and why Bitcoin is becoming a critical hedge against financial instability. As nations reposition themselves in a multipolar world, the U.S. is caught between its dependence on the dollar and the need to retreat from globalist economic policies.

🔥 Are tariffs a real strategy for economic sovereignty, or just political theater?
