Summary
Global markets tumbled after Trump announced new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, with EU tariffs also expected.
European and Asian stocks fell, especially carmakers, while the US dollar surged. Canada, Mexico, and China vowed retaliation.
Investors fear economic slowdown, inflation, and stalled interest rate cuts. Oil prices rose as traders assessed impacts on US imports.
Experts warn prolonged tariffs could weaken the dollar’s global role. Trump plans talks with Canada and Mexico before the tariffs take effect at midnight on Tuesday.

Sadly, she has gone full Boomer over the last year or so.
