"Trump Unveils Sweeping 10% Tariffs on Global Imports, Triggering Global Backlash and Market Volatility"


Donald Trump has announced the imposition of universal 10% tariffs on all imports into the United States, marking a significant shift in global trade dynamics.


The European Union has described the move as a "major blow to the world economy," while Italy has labeled it as "wrong." Australia has also expressed its discontent, stating that the decision "is not the act of a friend."


China, identified by President Trump as one of the "worst offenders," has vowed to retaliate against the new tariffs.

In related developments, President Trump stated that the United Kingdom will face a 10% tariff on its goods, while the European Union will be subject to a 20% tariff rate.
