Wall Street plunges as Trump tariffs spur global turmoil
Wall Street suffers its worst session since 2020 with $2.5tn vanishing from market value following the announcement of President Trump’s sweeping global tariffs.

President Trump says he remains open to negotiations. We are live on the shores of Lake Como, Italy at The European House Ambrosetti Spring Forum where CEO Valerio De Molli tells CNBC that any retaliation to the U.S. tariffs would be counter-productive. And in oil news, Opec+ quickens the pace of scheduled hikes, surprising the market with a boost in production to push prices lower.
