Trade tensions rise as US President Donald Trump threatens new tariffs on Southeast Asian countries. Analysts have warned that this could erect a “tariff wall” that disrupts regional supply chains and raises prices for American consumers. Trump’s new threats come as an August 1st deadline for trade deals approaches.
