Sixteen Nobel Prize-winning economists have issued a warning about the potential economic consequences of a second Trump presidency. In a letter obtained by Axios, they argue that Trump’s proposed policies, including new tariffs on imports and Chinese goods, could reignite inflation and harm the global economy. The economists collectively endorse Joe Biden’s economic agenda as “vastly superior” to Trump’s. This intervention aligns with the Biden campaign’s strategy to shift focus from defending the current economic situation to highlighting the potential risks of Trump’s economic plans. The economists’ statement aims to lend academic credibility to the argument that inflation would worsen under Trump, addressing voter concerns about the economy and inflation.
