The FTSE 100<\/a> has plunged today after Donald Trump<\/a> enforced a whopping 104% tariff on Chinese imports<\/a>. The latest levy came into effect after China<\/a> failed to lift its retaliatory tariffs on US goods by yesterday’s proposed deadline from the White House, sparking fears of a major trade war<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Asian markets also dropped after the latest tariffs kicked in. The Japanese Nikkei 225 dropped by 4.3%, the South Korean Kospi fell 1.4% and Hong Kong’s Hang Send tumbled by 1.5%. US stock markets also took a blow following the announcement last night – Wall Street fell, with the S&P down 1.6%, the Nadsaq losing 2.2% and the Dow Jones dropping 0.9%.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the FTSE 100, which ended the day of trading on a positive 2.7%, closed before Donald Trump<\/a>‘s announcement and is expected to drop today. Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said: “Countries like China who have chosen to retaliate and try to double down on their mistreatment of American workers are making a mistake. President Trump has a spine of steel that he will not break and America will not break under his leadership.”<\/p>\n
