Trade Turbulence: Trump's Tariffs Shake Global Markets
President Trump's new tariffs up to 41% on partner countries create significant global shake-up in trade markets. Stock markets fall, countries face steep tariffs, and trade relationships strain amid U.S.-China negotiations. While some nations negotiate for lower rates, the overall economic impact appears negative.

The latest wave of tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump has sent shockwaves through global financial markets. Stocks have slumped, and international leaders scramble to negotiate better trade deals amid the most severe U.S. tariff rates since the 1930s.
Countries like Switzerland and Canada face hefty duties, and economies globally brace for impacts. Analysts predict an 18% average U.S. tariff rate, up from 2.3% previously, as supply chains and exports adapt to new trade barriers.
The political and economic inklings of this trade upheaval continue to stir unrest, as some argue there are no winners in this conflict, despite attempts to capitalize on the changes by some countries.
