⚠️WARNING⚠️
🩸Trump threatens with 25% tariffs on #Apple and #Samsung and CONFIRMS a 50% one on the European Union.
👉This could affect the decision to cut the interest rate by the FED. Let me explain why:
"I am not seeking an agreement with Europe; it is already decided: on June 1, 50% tariffs will be imposed against the European Union."
What did Trump say for $BTC to drop $4K in 2 hours⁉️
🔻He stated that he will impose tariffs of at least 25% on Apple if iPhones are not manufactured in the U.S.
🔻In response, $AAPL shares plummeted 4.44% at market open.
🔻He also said: "I am not seeking an agreement with Europe; it is already decided: on June 1, 50% tariffs will be imposed against the European Union."
🔻He claims that talks with the EU "are going nowhere."
🗣"Their trade barriers, VAT, corporate sanctions, non-monetary trade barriers, monetary manipulations, unjustified lawsuits, and more, have generated a trade deficit with the U.S. of over 250 million dollars annually."
Why is this negative for financial markets⁉️
❌First, because it raises fears of a decline in economic activity, which could lead to a recession.
❌Additionally, the FED stated that fewer tariffs are needed to have room to cut the interest rate.
📍Stocks and $BTC would react poorly to any escalation of the trade war.
