Trade War: Canada and EU Impose Retaliatory Tariffs on the U.S.
In response to the 25% tariffs announced by Trump on Canadian and Mexican imports, Canada retaliated today with 25% tariffs on American products such as oil and meat. The European Union followed suit, taxing 20% on goods like soybeans and U.S. technology. The dollar fell 1% against the euro, and the S&P 500 lost 2%, while the $BTC gained strength as a hedge against instability. Analysts fear that the escalation threatens NAFTA and raises global prices, with diplomats rushing to negotiate in Washington.#USTariffs
Tension USA x Canada x European Union: New Trade War?
The global market is increasingly pressured by the trade war initiated by the United States. In the last week, Trump announced new tariffs on metals and products imported from Canada and the European Union, claiming the need to protect the American economy. The response came quickly: Canada and the European Union imposed sanctions on American metallic and steel products. This raised concerns in the global industrial sector and could affect emerging markets like Brazil, as global demand for inputs may decline.
The Asian market operated in decline this week, driven by the slowdown of the Chinese economy. The latest indicators point to declining inflation and clear signs of contraction, frustrating expectations for a quicker recovery from the world's second-largest economy. This scenario worries investors, as China is one of the engines of the global economy. To make matters worse, the Chinese government announced tariffs of up to 100% on Canadian products in response to similar measures imposed by other countries. This move echoes the aggressive trade policy of the U.S. during the Trump era, increasing tensions and raising the risk of a broader trade war.

Since Donald Trump assumed his second term in January 2025, the cryptocurrency market has experienced a mix of euphoria and distrust. With promises to transform the U.S. into the 'crypto capital of the planet', Trump signed executive orders, such as the creation of a strategic reserve of Bitcoin and other currencies (Ethereum, XRP, $SOL and $ADA ), and banned a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Bitcoin, which reached $109,000 in January, currently fluctuates around $89,000, but the question that echoes is: Is Trump really controlling this market?
