Trump’s tariffs offset the market junks
Sales follow US President Donald Trump’s announcements of AA 25 percent tax on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10 percent duty on Chinese goods to take effect on Tuesday. Given that the United States performs about $ 1.6 trillion in annual trade in these three nations, the move has increased fear of an economic slowdown.
In return to the charges, Canada and Mexico promised to introduce counter -measures, while China signaled plans to challenge customs in the World Trade Organization.

After Trump’s win at election, Bitcoin had risen 40 percent and reached a highlight of all the time of $ 107,071.86 on January 20, the day of his inauguration as the 47th US president. Much of this rally was driven by expectations that his administration would introduce crypto -reflection policies, where Trump himself promised to make the United States “Krypto capital on the planet.”
However, despite early optimism, some investors have grown impatient over the lack of concrete regulatory reforms. Last month, Trump ordered the formation of a cryptocurrency work group to explore potential rules and even consider a national cryptor reserve but stiff political changes remain absent.
