Summary
Trump’s economic policies, including tariffs and NATO spending demands, have rattled U.S. markets but fueled a surge in European defense stocks.
As countries boost military budgets, firms like Rheinmetall and BAE Systems have seen sharp gains. The STOXX Europe 600 is up 7.7%, while U.S. markets have declined.
European leaders are also loosening regulations to stay competitive. Meanwhile, Chinese stocks are rising due to domestic stimulus.
Analysts warn that U.S. tariffs could still disrupt global growth, but for now, international markets are benefiting from Trump’s policies.
The irony…
America First? But international markets are improving. Another yet glaring sign, of many, of how truly dumb of a fuck Trump is.
It was never anything else but “me first”.
