The global financial markets are experiencing a downturn due to US tariffs imposed by President Trump, raising fears of an escalating trade war and potential global recession.

HBO has officially renewed The White Lotus for a fourth season, following the successful third season which garnered 6.2 million viewers for its finale.

UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting has raised concerns that Donald Trump’s tariffs may soon affect the supply of medicines in the UK, amidst ongoing issues in international medicine production and distribution.

Trump causes global chaos Tensions between the world’s two largest economies have increased overnight as Beijing vowed to “fight to the end”, in response to a new wave of US tariffs. The statement followed a dramatic escalation by President Donald Trump, who threatened an additional 50 per cent tariff on Chinese goods, unless Beijing reverses its newly announced 34 per cent reciprocal levy – retaliation for Trump’s earlier 34 per cent tariff hike on Chinese imports. The new US tariffs are set to take effect Wednesday.

Trump issues new China tariff threat The FT looks at the escalating tariff war between China and the US after Trump threatened an additional 50% tariffs on China if Beijing did not withdraw its retaliatory levies. China has said it will not back down. US stocks closed slightly lower after a day of volatile trading. “If the US proceeds with implementing these escalated tariff measures, China will resolutely take countermeasures to safeguard its own rights and interests,” a commerce ministry spokesperson said. “If the US insists on going its own way, China will fight to the end.”
