The calm reaction in European markets could be misleading, warn some analysts, who say global investors are misjudging President Trump's decision to implement new trade tariffs

President Trump announced tariffs of 30% on goods imported from the European Union and Mexico, effective August 1. Although European markets reacted moderately, analysts warn that underestimating Trump's resolve could lead to significant losses. While some investors believe the tariff threats are negotiating tactics, others, such as CEO AscalonVI Capital, believe the tariffs will hurt global GDP growth. European officials are prepared to react if economic interests are affected, and the impact of tariffs could be felt across all economic sectors.
