Asian Markets Fall Amid Trump’s Global Tariffs**
Global financial markets were thrown into turmoil as Asian markets tumbled in response to President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs. The tariffs, aimed at reducing the U.S. trade deficit, have ignited fears of a full-scale trade war, sending shockwaves through stock markets across Asia.
Major indices in Asia, including Japan’s Nikkei 225, China’s Shanghai Composite, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng, recorded steep declines. Analysts attribute the sell-off to investor concerns over retaliatory tariffs from affected nations, which could stifle economic growth and disrupt global supply chains.
