The European Commission, China, and other countries have criticized Donald Trump’s decision to impose universal 10% tariffs on all goods entering the US, calling it a "major blow" to the world economy. The European Union has vowed to take countermeasures if negotiations fail, while Italy, Spain, Ireland, and France have also expressed opposition. China has warned of "resolute countermeasures" against the US, while Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, and Israel have all been hit with tariffs ranging from 17% to 54%. The move is seen as a blow to global trade, with leaders warning of uncertainty, dire consequences, and a possible trade war.
