Economist Joseph Stiglitz commented on recent tariff changes after CNBC cited a government source saying that "a 10% tariff will now be applied to all countries with trade agreements." The report frames the move as a broad standardization of duties across partners.  

According to the coverage, countries that previously faced higher tariffs—Vietnam is singled out—stand to be relative winners from the change, as their prior, steeper rates are effectively reduced. No quantitative breakdown beyond the 10% figure was provided.  

Stiglitz also raised concerns about the wider implications of abrupt policy shifts, warning they can erode trust in institutions, and touched on the possible effects of artificial intelligence on inflation, though the report gave no detailed estimates or timelines. #tariffs #trade #Vietnam #inflation #AI #FiatNews
