When President Donald Trump gave new rates to import of some of the poorest nations in the world, a global fire storm reigned. Framed as a movement to protect the North -American industries, broad tasks -some up to 49 % -affected countries such as Cambodia, Madagascar and Myanmar, where millions of millions of people already deal with poverty and disaster. But as markets trembled and critics raised, questions were asked: is this economic strategy or much more cynical?

Gurmeet Chadha, Managing Partner and Cio in Compcirc, did not retain. In a shameless publication in X (before Twitter), the United States movement collided: “ Forget -of the yields of good, deficits, etc., that superpower the boot of the rates in the poor countries. Cambodia 49%; Madagascar 47%where people win $ 2 a day, Myanmar who recently had an earthquake killed 3000 people, 45%.

Ended with a strong warning: “There is something called karma.”

Chadha’s observations made an online nerve, causing a wave of angry reactions.

“ Yes, if it is true that absolutely embarrassing to impose great tariffs on countries that already fight with poverty and natural disasters. To gain barely $ 2 a day, such as the people of Madagascar or Cambodia, even survive this fare shock? The United States speaks about humanitarian leadership, but their actions will reveal the opposite mentality. a single user.

Another wrote: “When the richest nation in the world punishes the poorest to simply try to survive, it is not political; it is a cruelty dressed as a strategy. You do not need a title of economy to know that it is morally bankrupt. Remember Karma.”

A third added, “ Rates to Nations such as Cambodia, Madagascar and Myanmar, where people earn $ 2/day or to face disasters such as the Myanmar earthquake, highlights a deeper problem: global trade often prioritizes people’s benefits. Instead of ‘karma’, we are talking about responsibility.

President Trump, meanwhile, published a video link to Truth Social, originally shared by a user named @aMericapaPabear, who stated that he was “falling on the market.” The cryptic video, partially generated by AI, did not come with an explanation, but it was viral. Did the theory float in the video? Trump deliberately feeds the chaos of the market to redirect capital to the Treasures of the United States. This would pressure the federal reserve to reduce interest rates in May: a measure that could help the government refinance its balloon debt, weaken the dollar and make North -American exports more competitive.

Hours earlier, the Dow had fallen more than 2,000 points, while the S&P 500 fell 5.7% on April 5, responding to Trump’s aggressive rates.

But the President of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, made a more measured note. “We are facing a highly uncertain perspective,” he said on April 5. Powell acknowledged that the rates were “larger than expected” and warned of their potential to increase inflation by slowing down growth.
