Abstract

The international economy has been fragmenting along geopolitical lines for close to a decade, with changes in US policy posing a particular risk to Ireland. Following Brexit, the 2018 US-China trade war, and sanctions relating to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the US administration’s imposition of the highest tariff levels in almost 100 years is the most recent example of the process of “geoeconomic fragmentation”. Ireland’s strong trade and FDI linkages with the US make it uniquely exposed.
