In a captivating discussion on LeadersTalk, Finnish President Alexander Stubb highlighted the escalating trend of protectionism that is reshaping global trade dynamics. Addressing a diverse audience, Stubb emphasized the critical need for multilateral cooperation to counteract the retreat into nationalistic interests that many countries are currently experiencing.

Reflecting on his recent speech at the United Nations, the Finnish leader pointed out, \"We start to see tariffs and protectionism coming in,\" illustrating the growing barriers that hinder international collaboration and economic growth. This sentiment was further underscored by the European Commission's recent decision to impose anti-subsidy taxes on electric vehicles from the Chinese mainland, signaling a shift towards more restrictive trade policies within key global markets.

President Stubb called for a collective shift away from self-interest toward compromise, urging nations to seek common solutions to the shared challenges facing the world today. He stressed that only through unified efforts can the international community effectively address issues such as trade imbalances, climate change, and economic instability.

\"It's imperative that we foster an environment of collaboration rather than competition,\" Stubb remarked, advocating for policies that promote open markets and mutual support. His call to action resonates with young global citizens, business innovators, and thought leaders who recognize that cooperative strategies are essential for sustainable progress in an increasingly interconnected world.
