So, it seems like the SP500 reached a top in the 1960s, and was back at the same level not before the 1990s. Are you saying that this was because of tariffs?

I can't understand that this is a "country spesific risk", as the trade war is global.
Historical context: the 1964 "Chicken Tax," or US tariff on European trucks in response to European tariffs on US poultry, had ripple effects for decades that arguably passed cost onto consumers and stifled trade (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tax). The point being, tariffs are not about the next four years but maybe forty.
