U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 10% tariff on all imports to the U.S., sparking defiance from world leaders. While Canada and Mexico are exempt from the new tariff, other nations are preparing countermeasures. Global leaders criticize the move, predicting it will incite trade wars and economic instability.

President Donald Trump's decision to impose a 10% tariff on all U.S. imports has sparked a wave of criticism from global leaders, who argue it will disturb international trade and economic stability.

Amidst the uproar, the administration spared key trading partners Canada and Mexico, although elevated tariffs remain on certain goods due to ongoing disputes.

European and Asian leaders have decried the measure, describing it as a catalyst for rising protectionism and trade wars, which they fear will have dire economic consequences worldwide.
