Washington, D.C., USA: President Donald Trump has reignited trade uncertainty by threatening new tariffs—25% on iPhones made in India and 50% on imports from the EU. Markets dipped 2% before recovering slightly, underscoring how a single announcement can jolt U.S. businesses. Supporters call it economic leverage; critics call it chaos. Either way, corporate planning grows difficult. Officials struggle to calm investors and the supply chain as Trump’s next move remains unpredictable. Some industries may benefit from short-term protection, but economists warn the roller-coaster approach ultimately harms growth.
