Willis (NASDAQ: WTW) published a Political Risk Index report on Dec 11, 2025 titled "Mapping the new geopolitics of tariff deals" that maps how 2025 U.S. tariff deals are reshaping global trade.

The report finds tariff deals increasingly require signatories to align with U.S. national security policies: export controls in 13 deals and supply chain security in 10 deals. It highlights country pivots (Vietnam, Cambodia, Ecuador) toward the Western bloc and notes Argentina secured a bailout after a political pivot. Major economies (Brazil, India, South Africa) remain unsigned, creating alignment uncertainty. The report also flags "poison pill" clauses and limited retaliation so far (noting China and Canada as significant retaliators).
