  • Impact on China: China, second only to Mexico as a major US importer, will be heavily impacted by facing a new 54% tariff. Beijing, the European Union, Japan, and South Korea have already threatened countermeasures in response. World leaders are voicing their positions, and here’s a detailed look at the tariffs country by country.
  • Market Reaction: The US stock market experienced a significant drop in after-hours trading as investors processed the news of Trump’s tariff decisions. Concerns are mounting that this could intensify a potential trade war and have severe implications for the global economy.
