Summary
President-elect Donald Trump's proposed policies on tariffs, tax cuts, and immigration are facing scrutiny as economists predict potential inflation and adverse effects on growth. The Bank of England cut interest rates to 4.75%, citing inflation concerns influenced by Trump's aggressive economic agenda.
