Stock markets drop as Trump unleashes new round of global tariffs
Stock markets opened sharply lower on Friday after President Trump unveiled steep tariffs on a wide range of countries, sparking concerns about how these import taxes would impact the U.S. and the global economies.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 400 points, or around 1% shortly after the markets opened. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq each fell more than 1%.
