Trump’s trade war wallops stock market
The stock market dropped significantly this week after Trump's tariffs took effect, causing the Dow to fall by nearly 700 points for the day and totaling a loss of 1200 points over two days, as reported by multiple sources.
Howard Lutnick, Trump's Commerce Secretary, hinted at a possible compromise amid escalating tensions from the tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China during an interview with Fox Business Channel.
Erin Burnett, a CNN anchor, criticized Trump for causing market instability, stating that the trade war was 'tanking markets' and noted the fast backlash from the White House, which is fielding calls from worried Republicans.
The current economic situation has been referred to as the 'Trump Slump' by economists, indicating a downturn beginning shortly after Trump took office.
