Trump's tariffs spook investors, stoke inflation fears DW 02/03/2025
Briefly

President Trump's new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China have triggered immediate reactions in global markets, with stock indices plummeting and oil prices spiking. The U.S. will impose 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, and 10% on Chinese goods, disrupting trade with major partners. Economists warn that these tariffs could initiate a trade war threatening worldwide economic stability. As fears of retaliation escalate, markets worldwide are in turmoil, and specific sectors, like automotive, face grave consequences due to reliance on cross-border supply chains.
Global stock markets reacted sharply to President Trump's new tariffs, leading to a significant decline in stock prices and sparking fears of a potential trade war.
President Trump's tariffs target Canada, Mexico, and China simultaneously, which economists warn could paralyze economic growth both domestically and globally.
