US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he would give tariffs to Canada and Mexico, who temporarily paused, in his head, while on Wednesday it was threatened to be a 25% levy on the European Union.
These are some of the closest allies of the USA -the biggest trade partners. Expect geopolitical friction and economic relegation if the tariffs are carried out.

Large technological companies, such as Google, Meta and Microsoft, announced the release of this year-such as such cost reduction measures may not be a direct response to the tariffs, they are an early sign that things might look when companies try to deal with increased imported prices.
Nvidia could also stare at the pistol tube. Most of Nvidia’s advanced artificial intelligence chips produce TSMC in Taiwan. At the trial on his campaign, Trump complained that the island had stolen an American job with a chip and said that he would impose tariffs on the Taiwan chips.
Nvidia’s shares fell on Thursday after a chip manufacturer announced a profit on Wednesday, deleting billions of market capitalization. If the tariffs in Taiwan are also carried out, the image will look much uglier, not just for a chip manufacturer.
