Trump's Tariffs Trigger Economic Turmoil and Political Fallout

Sweeping import taxes, now in effect, have rattled global markets, drawn bipartisan criticism, and prompted retaliatory measures from key trading partners.

• President Trump has implemented a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, with higher rates for specific countries, citing economic and national security concerns.
• Global markets have plunged, with the Dow Jones dropping over 2,200 points following China's announcement of 34% retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods.
• Bipartisan efforts in Congress are gaining momentum to limit presidential tariff powers, though legislative action remains uncertain.
• California Governor Gavin Newsom is exploring strategies to shield the state from economic fallout, including potential negotiations with international trade partners.
• Critics warn the tariffs will significantly increase consumer costs, with estimates of $3,800 in additional annual expenses per household, and could push the U.S. economy toward recession.
