Trump Warns of Steeper Tariffs on EU, Canada Over Potential Economic Threats to U.S.
President Donald Trump has issued a warning that he may impose significantly higher tariffs on imports from the European Union (EU) and Canada if they take actions that could harm the U.S. economy.
“If the European Union and Canada coordinate to damage the American economy, they will face massive tariffs—far beyond what is currently planned—to protect the greatest ally either of them has ever had!” Trump declared in a Truth Social post late Wednesday night.
Despite the threat, financial markets remained relatively stable. Bitcoin (BTC) hovered just under $88,000, Germany’s DAX futures dipped by 0.3%, and U.S. stock futures saw little movement.
Market analysts suggest that Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s recent comments, indicating that tariff-driven inflation could be short-lived, have helped ease investor concerns.
