Economist Harold James from Princeton University draws cautious parallels between the current political climate in the U.S. under President Donald Trump and Germany during the interwar period. While he refrains from labeling Trump as an ideological dictator like Adolf Hitler, he notes significant shifts within the Republican Party and rising anti-internationalist sentiments. James warns that potential trade tariffs could ignite inflation and economically impact nations, including Switzerland, highlighting concerns about the political elite’s underestimation of these risks.
