President Trump threatens to impose a 50% tariff on European exports starting June 1, citing difficulties in trade negotiations with the European Union.
Additionally, Trump warns Apple that iPhones manufactured outside the U.S. will face a 25% tariff, urging production to be in the United States.
Financial markets react negatively to the news, with stock futures dropping and European carmakers' shares being hit the hardest.
Estimates show that the proposed tariffs could lead to a 20% drop in EU exports to the U.S. and over a 6% increase in prices in the U.S.
