Stock markets in the US and Asia fell sharply as concerns over the economic impact of Donald Trump’s tariffs rattled investors. In a recent TV interview, Trump described the US economy as being in a “period of transition,” sparking fears of a downturn. His officials have since sought to calm markets, but analysts say confidence in his pro-market stance is weakening, the BBC reported.
