Trump announced 10% tariffs on most countries - including the UK - from Saturday
The US stock market has dropped sharply after Donald Trump announced a raft of worldwide tariffs last night.
Big brands - such as Nike, Apple and Amazon - have seen their share prices fall, but the White House tells Wall Street to "trust in President Trump".
In Canada, Prime Minister Mark Carney announces 25% tariffs on certain US vehicles.
The UK has drawn up a 400-page list of US products it could hit with tariffs - Henry Zeffman says it is a toughening up of Starmer's stance.
Trump announced 10% tariffs on most countries - including the UK - from Saturday, with higher rates on some of America's biggest trading partners from 9 April.
EU response will be 'measured, professional, clever', says Poland
Poland’s Foreign Minister, Radek Sikorski, says the EU’s response to Donald Trump’s tariffs will be “measured, professional and clever”.
He says the European Commission is now considering its response – “and we have some very competent people working on it”.
He will not give details of what that response might involve.
Speaking to the BBC, Sikorski describes the imposition of tariffs as “a new departure” for the US – which he says had been the leader for decades in promoting free trade, through the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT) and the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Sikorski says the new tariffs, announced by President Trump, are “a massive decision” and “we haven’t found the positives yet”.
Poland’s prime minister, Donald Tusk, says the tariffs could cost Poland losses of more than $2.6bn dollars. He calls it a “severe and unpleasant blow” on X.
