U.S. #stocks tumble on global #TradeWar fears over new #tariffs
#Trump's sweeping tariff announcement Wednesday triggered a sharp drop in U.S. stock markets, a flashing-red warning sign of the economic fallout that's expected to result from the widening trade war.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled over 1,200 points, or 2.9%, Thursday within minutes of the opening bell. The broader S&P 500 index sank 3.4%.

C'est pas encore confirmé mais Politico en parle aujourd'hui :
"Elon Musk devrait quitter ses fonctions auprès du président américain dans les prochaines semaines. Donald Trump l’a fait savoir à sa garde rapprochée, dont plusieurs membres de son cabinet. Bien que le chef de l’Etat continue d’apprécier son travail, le multimilliardaire, à la tête du “département de l’efficacité gouvernementale”, est de plus en plus vu comme un allié encombrant par l’administration américaine et les deux hommes ont convenu que l’homme d’affaires devait retourner à ses affaires."

Trump tariffs include uninhabited island

Tomorrow is going to be an epic stock crash.
Trump's tariffs have been placed on every country in the world except Russia and North Korea.
The stock market dropped by like $2T in the first 2 minutes of Trump's speech.
So, Trump announced a bunch of tariffs today. Basically everybody but Russia.
But then there is 15-30 % for everybody. But Lesotho? Fuck Lesotho in particular, apparently. 50% tariffs.
Just by a super coincidence, seems like Starlink is trying to get a contract in Lesotho and having some difficulties. Clearly unrelated.

Disgusting: The majority of the nations listed for “reciprocal” #tariffs on the 8-pg document distributed to reporters by the #Trump admin are #poor, #developing economies. They include some of the world’s poorest nations -- #SouthSudan, #Burundi & the #CentralAfricanRepublic -- as well as countries in the throes of #war, notably #Sudan.

The White House clarified that yes, as I posted earlier in this 🧵, the tariff numbers in the charts #Trump held up include BOTH reciprocal levies & the 10% baseline. So #Europe will face a 10% reciprocal tariff + a 10% baseline. #China will face a 24% reciprocal tariff, + the 10% baseline. Etc.

#Trump says he will charge the #UK a 10% #tariff. Remarkable, since the US runs a #trade surplus w/Britain, it’s a close ally & the country has been trying to negotiate a trade deal w/Trump.
Trump says he will also establish a “universal baseline tariff” of 10% that will apply to ALL COUNTRIES, in ADDITION to the numbers he’s already announced. That means a country like China will face a 44% tariff on top of the 20% already imposed.

That is also on top of #Trump’s other #tariffs that China will also face, including 25% tariffs on autos & 25% tariffs on metals.
Trump says to foreign countries, “If you want your tariff rate to be zero, then you build your product right here in America.”

#Trump claims that experts have been wrong about #NAFTA, #China & his first-term #tariffs & that they will be wrong again about his current trade actions. 🙄
Futures on the S&P 500, which allow investors to trade when exchanges are not officially open, began to tumble after Trump started outlining the tariff rates. The index had ended the day higher, but futures are now down more than 1%.

#Trump touts manufacturing jobs that have been created since his 2nd term began as well as the fact that some consumer prices have eased. The issue is that neither of those very modest trends are likely to continue w/these #tariffs, economists say. A new report released this week showed that manufacturing activity contracted in March & businesses in that sector are now expecting much slower growth & higher prices.

#Trump said #grocery & other #prices are starting to come down, & that his policies are bringing down #inflation. In fact, inflation has picked up in the first weeks of his term, & economists almost universally expect #tariffs to further drive up prices.

People had been expecting #Trump to announce high #tariffs, but these numbers are stunning. In addition to a 10% tariff on ALL COUNTRIES, dozens of other countries face extra tariffs between 10 & 50%. That will force some manufacturing back into the US, but will also definitely raise costs for American #consumers & #manufacturers & incite #TradeWars on many fronts.
#FactCheck #TrumpLies #RevengePolitics #economy #inflation #recession #TrumpTariffs #Trumpcession #geopolitics #USpol
Many of these tariff rates seem much higher than some economists & policymakers had been expecting.
#Trump says the US will calculate a tariff rate for other countries based on #tariffs & “other forms of cheating” — whatever that means.
He says #China will face a 34% tariff, while the #EU will be 20%. #Japan will be 24% & #India 26%.
#RevengePolitics #economy #tariffs #inflation #recession #TrumpTariffs #Trumpcession #geopolitics #USpol
#Trump calling the #trade deficit a “national emergency” that threatens US #security, lays out his *legal* argument for his actions.
“They rip us off,”Trump says of the #EU, announcing a 20% #tariff on the 27-nation bloc.
Trump holds a chart showing reciprocal tariff rates for US trading partners & says he will charge half of that much? There is no explanation for the calculations that he is using to justify the #tariffs. Likely because they’re arbitrary revenge tactics.
