Trump tariffs including 104% against China come into force
Trump tariffs including 104% against China come into force Trump's new tariffs on dozens of countries, including tariffs of 104 percent on Chinese goods, have gone into effect, intensifying his global trade war. The round of so-called “reciprocal” tariffs on imports to the US – imposed from 12.01am Eastern Time (0401 GMT) – come as the US president’s punishing levies have shaken a global trading order that has persisted for decades, raised fears of recession and driven worldwide stocks sharply downward. According to Reuters, the S&P 500 fell below 5,000 on Tuesday for the first time in nearly a year and is getting closer to entering a bear market, which is defined as being 20% below its most recent high. Since Trump announced the tariffs on Wednesday, the value of S&P 500 companies' stock markets has decreased by $5.8 trillion. A sell-off across Asian markets resumed on Wednesday after a brief respite, with Japan’s Nikkei down over 3% and South Korea’s won currency sliding to a 16-year low. Additionally, US stock futures pointed to Wall Street suffering losses for the fifth day in a row. Trump nearly doubled duties on Chinese imports, which had been set at 54% last week, in response to counter-tariffs that Beijing announced last week. China has vowed to “fight to the end” over what it views as blackmail. Trump has offered investors mixed signals about whether the tariffs will remain in the long term, describing them as “permanent” but also boasting that they are pressuring other leaders to ask for negotiations. During a White House event on Tuesday afternoon, he stated, "We have a lot of countries coming in that want to make deals." At a subsequent event, he stated that he anticipated China to pursue an agreement as well.

It came from the Sagittarius constellation and carried a strength far above the usual background noise. The astronomer on duty, Jerry Elman, so astonished by the clarity of the transmission, circled the signal's reading on the computer printout and wrote a single word beside it: “Wow!”
