Global Markets Plunge as Trump’s New Trade Tariffs Spark Fears of Recession and International Trade Disruption

Global stock markets and oil prices fell sharply as investors sought safer assets following President Donald Trump's announcement of new U.S. trade tariffs, raising fears of a global recession. The tariffs, including a 10% baseline levy and additional reciprocal tariffs, particularly target Asian nations like China, which faces a 34% levy, prompting China to plan countermeasures. The tariffs have caused market fluctuations in Europe and sparked a global debate on the future of international trade, as approximately 90 countries will face additional taxes starting April 9.
