Europe

Stock markets in London, Paris, and Berlin fell on Thursday following U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of sweeping tariffs. The UK has been hit with a baseline 10% while the EU has been hit with 20%.

Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally party, was recently convicted by a French court of embezzling European Union funds, resulting in a five-year ban from holding public office. This ruling marks a significant setback for her political career and her ambitions for the presidency.

The US President suggested his next round of tariff announcements, expected on Wednesday, will hit all countries, rather than just those who sell more goods to the US than they buy.
