Stocks tumble after Trump unveils sweeping new tariffs

UNITED STATES, AUG 1 – President Trump cited national security and trade deficits to justify tariffs ranging from 10% to 50% on nearly 70 countries, impacting global markets and key export sectors, analysts said.

  • Trump issued a presidential executive order raising tariffs, including a 35% duty on Canadian goods, 50% on Brazil, and 25% on India, effective in seven days for 69 trading partners.
  • U.S. federal appeals court judges questioned Trump's invocation of emergency powers to impose tariffs of up to 50% on nearly all trading partners.
  • Asian shares faced their worst week since April, and European stocks fell to a three-week low due to concerns over the new tariffs.
  • Trump stated that Canada had 'failed to cooperate' on narcotics flows, justifying an increase in tariffs on Canadian goods from 25% to 35%.
