Native speaker’s answer

Good guess! Yes, the nuance of "all kinds of" is very similar to "a whole new set of" in this context. The speaker intends to imply that there will be new, varied troubles and issues arising from the trade deal. Ex: This project is causing me all kinds of headaches. = This project is causing me a whole new set of headaches.
