The latest:Trump wants to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico “on ALL products coming into the United States,” he said on Truth Social.
He also wants an “additional” 10 percent tariff on imports from China, which Trump blames for the fentanyl crisis, a charge that Beijing has repeatedly disputed.
Europe, Japan and South Korea weren’t even mentioned in Trump’s announcement, but stocks have fallen there, too.
That suggests rising fears that a new trade war could scramble global supply chains and dent profits.
Automakers are some of the hardest hit stocks, with Volkswagen, Stellantis and Nissan, which run manufacturing operations in Mexico, all down.
