Policy Details:
President Trump's tariff plan includes a 50% duty on all EU imports and a 25% tariff on Apple products manufactured outside the U.S., citing stalled trade negotiations as the reason. FingerLakes1+2Barron's+2@EconomicTimes+2
Investor Sentiment:
The crypto market had been buoyed by regulatory developments such as the U.S. Senate's approval of the GENIUS Act, aimed at regulating stablecoins. However, the new tariff threats have disrupted this positive momentum, leading to increased market uncertainty
