The sweeping tariffs, which took effect early Wednesday, have destabilized markets, escalated tensions with China, and raised fears of global economic fallout.
- President Trump's 104% tariffs on Chinese imports are now in effect, marking a significant escalation in the global trade war.
- Global markets have experienced severe volatility, with the S&P 500 nearing bear market territory and trillions lost in market value over the past week.
- China has vowed to retaliate, labeling the tariffs as 'economic coercion' and promising countermeasures to protect its interests.
- The Trump administration is engaging in trade negotiations with allies like Japan and South Korea, while signaling openness to tailored deals with other nations.
