Mario begins by sharing a light-hearted personal anecdote about a golfing trip he took on the last day of the year. A seemingly idyllic morning turned into a moment of unexpected fortune when he won a golf club in a charity raffle.

This highlights a broader concern regarding the interplay between manufacturing, tariffs, and sanctions in today’s economic climate.
