so who are you kidding dude, if tension escalates they are completely fucked.. |
Exports only account for 15% of their GDP - so since the US is 74% of that ....leads to what a 12% hit on their GDP...which other countries have been clamoring for - and will now get - so like I said...maybe a 2% hit
Tourism numbers showing number of visitors includes 50% of people crossing the border for business - what your chart doesnt show is the amount spent per country - and it's effect on GDP which is again very low
so I respectfully disagree - there is no real economic effect and really the only effect I can see from all of this is that prices in the US for products and oil will skyrocket
