He has recently published a report discussing the potential negative impacts of increased tariffs on Iceland's exports to the United States, particularly in light of uncertainties surrounding U.S. trade policy under President Donald Trump. Hauksson expresses concern that the threats of permanent changes to international trade dynamics should be taken seriously by investors, and he concludes that such tariffs could lead to reduced economic activity and inflation in Iceland.
