Unexpectedly?

BBC is really full style right wing propaganda machine now. This time propaganda by omission (like those articles about Brexit where they never gave "no Brexit" as an option).

Zero commentary on tariffs, zero commentary about tourism and ICE, nothing about other policies.

Bloody BBC, keeping to the facts again...

The OP was pointing out the rather opinionated use of the word "Unexpectedly".

There are lots of people who have expected these tariff and immigration policies to have a negative impact on the economy. Who wasn't expecting this? Right wing supporters of Trump. Thus the pretty reasonable claim that this is a right-wing slant.
