Trump's Tariff Gamble: Economic Shake-Up and Political Fallout

President Trump has imposed massive new tariffs on nearly all U.S.

trading partners, calling them 'reciprocal'—but experts say the math doesn’t add up.

The move has rattled global markets, with the Dow plunging over 3,800 points in two days.

Trump insists it will spark a manufacturing boom, but economists warn of inflation and a possible recession.

In Delta, Ohio, many residents back the tariffs, seeing them as a way to revive American industry.

'Sometimes you have to walk through fire to get to the other side,' says Mary Miller, a local

shop owner.

Despite warnings of rising prices, locals believe the long-term benefits outweigh the short-term pain.

A deal to keep TikTok running in the U.S.

was nearly finalized—until Trump’s new tariffs on China threw a wrench in the plan.

ByteDance now says China won’t approve the deal without broader trade negotiations.

Trump extended the deadline by 75 days, hoping tariffs will force a compromise.

The Senate approved a budget extending Trump’s 2017 tax cuts and slashing spending.

Republicans say it prevents tax hikes, but Democrats argue it favors the wealthy and risks vital programs.

The plan adds trillions to the national debt, even as tariffs threaten economic stability.

Former President Obama is calling on Americans, universities, and law firms to resist Trump’s agenda.

He criticized the administration’s use of tariffs and attacks on academic freedom, warning that democratic norms are under

threat.

'You may actually have to do something,' he told a crowd in New York.
