Conclusion
Geopolitical tensions significantly disrupt global supply chains and trade. They lead to logistical failures, resource shortages, and price instability. Industries such as technology, agriculture, and energy are most affected. The study highlights both short-term disruptions and long-term structural changes such as supplier diversification and trade realignment.
