Global Trade in Flux: Nations Scramble to Negotiate Trump's Tariffs


The Trump administration has revealed that over 50 countries have approached the White House to discuss the sweeping tariffs announced earlier this month. These tariffs, set to take effect on Wednesday, have sparked global economic uncertainty and fears of a recession.
