Trump raises tariffs on China to 125%

The new trade measures are causing controversy: the U.S. raises tariffs in one market while postponing changes in others, forcing a reevaluation of long-standing economic ties.

Global markets reacted sharply after U.S. President Donald Trump unexpectedly announced in the social newspaper "Pravda" that he would raise tariffs on China to 125%, while delaying the introduction of new tariffs on other countries for 90 days.

Bitcoin rose by 5.6% to $81,636 within an hour of the announcement, reflecting broad market optimism. In his message, Trump stated that tariffs on Chinese imports would immediately rise to 125%, claiming that China does not adhere to the rules of the global market.
