Now, Trump is opening up about the atrocious EU whom he feels needs to be targeted next, causing a global trade war and fear to rise in various markets.
Market shares plunged to a new low today after the trade war began to widen from Mexico, China, and Canada to the EU. The American President made it clear that his next target was the European Union due to their behavior.
Shares around the globe fell due to the intensifying action with FTSE being 100 down over 100 points during the early trading hours.
