The economic landscape has been fiercely rattled by President Donald Trump's aggressive stance on tariffs since assuming office on January 20. His series of decisions have left financial markets in disarray and created ripples of uncertainty across the global economy.
A critical development unfolded on February 1 when Trump imposed significant tariffs on Mexican, Canadian, and Chinese imports. While he paused certain measures for Mexico and Canada, he doubled down on Chinese goods, escalating tensions further.
