Global Markets And US Futures Tumble After Trump Says Tariffs Will Hit ‘All Countries’

  • On March 28, 2025, President Donald Trump, speaking onboard Air Force One before arriving in West Palm Beach, Florida, announced plans to unveil reciprocal tariffs targeting all countries on April 2, which he has dubbed 'Liberation Day'.
  • Trump's decision stems from his belief that other countries have unfairly exploited the United States through their trade practices, and he aims to address these perceived imbalances with tariffs that he insists will be 'more generous' than those imposed on the U.S.
  • The move broadens the scope of anticipated tariffs, which were initially expected to focus on the 'Dirty 15' countries, a group identified by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and White House's top economic advisor Kevin Hassett as having persistent trade imbalances and substantial tariffs and non-tariff barriers with the U.S., and dashes any hopes for a more targeted approach.
  • Trump stated, 'start with all countries, so let's see what happens', while his top trade aide Peter Navarro has suggested potential revenue from tariffs, including $100 billion annually from auto imports and an additional $600 billion per year from other tariffs, totaling $6 trillion over a decade.
  • The announcement of sweeping tariffs triggered turmoil in global stock markets on Monday, with indices like the Nikkei 225, Shanghai Composite Index, and FTSE 100 experiencing significant declines, and economists warning of potential inflation and a global trade war as other nations vow to retaliate.
