Global Markets Tumble Amid Tariff-Induced Recession Concerns

                                    

Global stock markets experienced a sharp decline as fears of a global trade war intensified. U.S. President Donald Trump's recent announcement of sweeping tariffs has sent ripples through financial markets, with investors bracing for potential economic fallout. The tariffs, which are expected to target a wide range of goods and countries, have heightened concerns about a global recession.
