President Joe Biden has asked the US Congress for an additional $100 billion package that includes aid to Israel and Ukraine, as well as funding for border security, disaster relief, and the Indo-Pacific region.
The request comes amid escalating wars in Ukraine and Palestine that pose serious challenges and opportunities for the US economy. This article explores some of the possible scenarios and implications for the US economy and other macroeconomic variables, drawing parallels from the historic World War II (1939-1945) and the recent wars in Afghanistan (2001-2021) and Iraq (2003-2011).
One of the most obvious effects of war is its impact on trade and investment. War can disrupt the normal flows of goods, services, and capital across borders, affecting both the supply and demand sides of the economy. War can also create new opportunities for trade and investment as countries seek to secure their strategic interests or take advantage of new markets.
