According to reports from AP News, CNBC, and The Wall Street Journal, the stock market experienced immediate reactions to Trump's tariff threats. Investors are bracing for potential impacts on various sectors, particularly those heavily reliant on international trade. The uncertainty has also affected cryptocurrency markets, with investors seeking safe havens amidst the economic turbulence.
