Impact of President Trump's Tariffs on Global Economy

President Trump abruptly reversed long-standing trade policies, announcing massive tariffs that triggered a stock market crash and global economic uncertainty. The move resulted in retaliatory tariffs from China, margin calls for hedge funds, and a significant devaluation of the US dollar, leading to fears of a global recession.

U.S. tariffs are at their highest level since 1943, causing tension with Canada, Mexico, and China. President Trump imposed broad tariffs on goods from these countries, citing reasons of national interest and drug trafficking concerns. Canada and Mexico retaliated with tariffs of their own, leading to a trade war. The stock market reacted negatively to the tariff uncertainty, affecting companies like Target, Walmart, Amazon, and automakers like Ford and General Motors.
