President-elect Donald Trump dismissed reports of plans to reduce tariffs, insisting the information is false and a fabrication of 'Fake News.'
The initial tariffs are anticipated to focus on critical sectors such as national security, energy, and medical supply, maintaining a universal application.
The dollar experienced a significant decline following the report, marking its largest single-day drop in five months.
In contrast, stock indexes in both the U.S. and Europe rallied, with companies reliant on global supply chains like Nvidia seeing notable gains.
The broader economic implications continue to be debated, with critics highlighting potential inflation risks associated with Trump's tariff policies.
