Wall Street’s main indices suffered a bloodbath on Thursday as overall investor sentiment was weighed down by President Donald Trump’s series of tariffs on goods from other countries.
The Dow Jones dropped by 0.45 percent, while the S&P declined 1.59 percent. Nasdaq, on the other hand, lost 2.78 percent.
On Thursday, Trump threatened to slap EU products with a 25-percent tax, following his announcement on Wednesday of another month of delay for the imposition of taxes on goods from Mexico and Canada.
