Asian markets fall as Trump's tariffs roil global trade
Briefly

Asian markets experienced a significant decline amidst heightened tensions from U.S. tariffs announced by President Trump, marking a shift in global trade dynamics. Trump, fulfilling a campaign promise, imposed sweeping tariffs without congressional approval. China responded with confidence, asserting it has the means to handle U.S. trade measures, while also announcing its own tariffs. Australia's economy is impacted as the Australian dollar fell due to concerns over the effects on growth and inflation stemming from these international economic shifts.
