# Trump's Tariffs: A Trade War Intensifies

President Donald Trump's aggressive tariff policy is redefining global trade balances. Trump recently achieved a "major" legal victory with a favorable decision from a federal appeals court supporting his protectionist strategy.

New measures are piling up: tariffs on steel and aluminum increased from 25% to 50% as of June 4, 2025. Trump is also threatening to impose a 50% tariff on all European imports. These policies are generating a 78% increase in tariff revenue but creating global economic chaos.

The impact is brutal: the solar industry in Southeast Asia is facing "devastation," while Wall Street CEOs are going through "the five stages of tariff grief." Companies are desperately trying to adapt to this new unpredictable trade reality that is disrupting global supply chains.
