U.S. President Donald Trump defended his decision to impose a 10% universal tariff on all imports, calling it an “economic revolution.” This move has led to significant market declines for two consecutive days. Despite the turmoil, Trump urged Americans to “hang tough” as the tariffs took effect. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged by 2,200 points amid concerns over the tariffs’ impact on the economy. Investors remain skeptical about the long-term effects of the tariffs, leading to a decline in stock values. — new from The Hill
