Stocks slump – China to impose 34% levy as retaliation – China files lawsuit | US tariffs LIVE
Where to watch England vs Belgium? – The Nations League is back in action today with the home nations all in action tonight. Northern Ireland are away to Romania (watch via BBC) whilst Scotland host Germany at home (BBC), Wales welcome Denmark (BBC) whilst England host Belgium (ITV).
The story that is dominating every news site – in print and online – today is, of course, the ongoing chaos facing the global stock markets following Donald Trump’s latest US tariffs.
Global stock markets experienced significant declines following President Trump‘s announcement of sweeping tariffs, including a 10% tax on imports from the UK.
Both US and European markets reported their worst one-day losses since the COVID-19 pandemic, raising concerns about a potential recession and international retaliation.
Several newspapers lead with the latest from Prince Harry’s ongoing charity row. The Charity Commission has said it will launch a probe into Harry’s charity Sentebale following claims made by its head, Sophie Chandauka.
The prince, who started the charity more than 20 years ago, has said he hopes the watchdog will “unveil the truth” after the head accused the prince of bullying and harassment, amongst other claims about the charity itself.
Friday’s UK headlines are similar to headlines from around the world: the fallout from Donald Trump’s tariffs after “trillions” have been wiped off the global stock markets.
On Wednesday, Trump announced a baseline tariff on almost every country in the world of at least 10% – whilst some countries face much higher levies, with the EU being hit with 20%.
Since the announcement, global markets have experienced significant declines, with both the US and European markets reporting their worst one-day losses since the COVID-19 pandemic and raising concerns about a potential recession and international retaliation. Economists are warning of a ‘spiral of doom’, suggesting that retaliatory measures could lead to further economic destabilisation.
Elsewhere, a probe into the bitter dispute surrounding Prince Harry’s charity Sentebale. The Charity Commission said it had opened a case to examine “concerns raised” about Sentebale, following claims made by its head, Sophie Chandauka. Prince Harry has said he hopes the watchdog will “unveil the truth”.
Chelsea vs Spurs – the Premier League is back in action today – the final weekday match following the international break.
The UK is amongst some countries facing a baseline tariff of 10%
Trump announces fresh wave of US tariffs – Almost all of Thursday’s headlines are dissecting the tariffs announced by the US president yesterday. The UK was hit with a baseline 10% tariff, whilst the EU (who are preparing to retaliate) were hit with a 20% levy – some countries fared even worse with fees as high as 40%.
The UK newspapers generally express relief that the tariffs were not as bad for the UK as expected, with right-leaning media highlighting Brexit’s role in saving Britain from the 20% levy for the EU. The tariffs are set to come into effect on Saturday, with some headlines reporting there is still wiggle room for a deal to be carved out between the UK and US before the tax comes into effect.
Thursday’s headlines are, of course, dominated by yesterday’s news that the US will introduce a baseline 10% tariff on the world, including the UK and other countries, and are facing far higher tariffs, including the EU being hit with a 20% levy.
The headlines are in general agreement that the UK being hit with the baseline tariff is far less severe than what was expected, and there could be some wiggle room as the tariffs don’t come into effect on Saturday.
