00:37began this Saturday.
00:39Trump's tariffs have triggered an escalating trade war and caused global markets to fall.
00:45The move, called reciprocal tariffs, is a key campaign promise and aims to reduce the
00:51trade gap by increasing taxes on foreign goods.
00:55The money from these taxes goes to the U.S. government to help pay for services.
01:00Trump wants to use this money to fund U.S. tax cuts, which analysts say would disproportionately
01:07benefit the wealthy.
01:08The 20 percent tax on European products could actually lower prices in Europe due to increased
01:14supply from China and within the EU.
01:17According to the World Trade Organization, U.S. tariffs are generally lower than those
01:22charged by other countries.

01:39from more than 180 countries, ranging from 10 to over 50 percent.
01:44This was exacerbated after China also imposed its own counter tariffs on the U.S.
01:50European markets experienced a sharp decline on the first day after the announcement.
01:54The German DAX fund closed the week with a drop of more than 1,000 points, roughly five
01:59percent, setting a new daily low for the index.
02:02Spain's largest stock market, the Iberian Index, or IBEX 35, also experienced similar
02:08decline.
02:09France's CAC 40 dropped about 4.3 percent.
02:12Trump's policy also recorded some significant blows to U.S. stock markets.
02:17The S&P 500 fell by roughly six percent, a record low since the COVID-19 pandemic.
02:23The Dow Jones Index reported a 5.5 percent decline, while the Nasdaq Composite also saw
02:28a fall of almost six percent.
02:30Trump seems unfazed by the market reaction to his policies, instead noting that the decline
02:35will only be temporary.
02:40Ukrainian officials say Russia targeted the central city of Krivori with ballistic missile
02:45attacks on Friday.
02:46At least 14 people were killed, including six children, and more than 30 others were

02:57neighborhood, stating that some of those wounded sustained critical injuries.
03:01Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky says at least five buildings were damaged in the
03:05process and accused Russia of not being serious about the prospect of peace.
03:09The attacks coincided with the Kremlin sending an envoy to Washington for talks with U.S.
03:14President Donald Trump's administration.
03:17Kirill Dmitriev, who heads Russia's Sovereign Wealth Fund, says his talks with U.S. officials
03:21explored ways to normalize Moscow and Washington's relations.
03:25The talks, which he described as productive, also addressed economic and investment questions.
03:30Zelensky says Dmitriev's visit was aiming to discuss the possibility of withdrawing
03:35300 billion in Russian frozen assets.
03:40Italy's Five Star Party called for a rally to protest against the EU's defence spending
03:47plans on Saturday.
03:49Leader Giuseppe Conte said that in a time of economic difficulty for many families,
03:55the idea of spending huge amounts of money on armament is unacceptable.
04:00Conte called the rally to oppose the rearmament plan promoted by the Italian government.
04:06The Green, Left Alliance and a delegation from the Democratic Party also joined the
04:12demonstration.
