Global Response to Trump’s Tariffs: Nations Seek U.S. Trade Talks Amid Market Panic

Amid escalating trade tensions, numerous countries are rushing to initiate trade talks with the United States following President Donald Trump's announcement of new tariffs. The move has triggered panic in global markets, with investors and policymakers scrambling to assess the potential economic fallout.

According to reports, nations ranging from major economies to smaller trade partners are seeking negotiations with the U.S. to mitigate the impact of the tariffs.

The situation remains fluid, with ongoing developments expected to shape the future of international trade relations.
