U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited global trade tensions with the announcement of a universal 10% tariff on all imports to the United States. The move has prompted a wave of criticism and concern from international leaders and governments.

The European Commission described the tariffs as a significant blow to the global economy, warning of heightened protectionism and the potential for widespread economic repercussions. Meanwhile, China has staunchly opposed the measure, advocating for the removal of tariffs and emphasizing the futility of trade wars.

Responses from Japan, Canada, Brazil, and other nations echo similar sentiments, with many leaders asserting their intention to defend their national interests and scrutinize their next steps in response to what they view as unwarranted economic policies by the U.S.
