Markets Plunge – Trump’s $6.4 Trillion Tariff Blunder Shakes Wall Street
President Trump’s massive tariff miscalculation has sent shockwaves through global markets, triggering panic buying and a collapse in auto imports. China’s retaliatory measures, including a 134% tariff hike, have compounded fears of a prolonged trade war, leaving investors jittery and economic indicators in freefall.

24 Hours Global markets reel as Trump’s tariff strategy sparks economic chaos. Auto tariffs and tech exemptions fuel China’s steep 134% retaliation, while investors confront plummeting confidence. Legal skirmishes heat up with internal battles in the FBI and contentious court rulings over high-profile cases. Immigration measures tighten with key deportation decisions underway. Internationally, diplomacy sizzles as U.S.-Iran talks commence and Israel encircles Gaza’s Rafah. Health systems face rising fees and surging flu deaths, while scientific breakthroughs in space and technology offer rare bright spots amid mounting domestic and global turmoil.
Number 134% - China's Retaliatory Tariff Hike
Quote "How could we be expected to go to South Africa for the very important G20 Meeting when Land Confiscation and Genocide is the primary topic of conversation?" — Trump
