Good morning. Donald Trump’s tariffs unleash market chaos. Elon Musk’s team is halting Treasury payments to US contactors. And Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar win big at the Grammys. Listen to the day’s top stories.
Donald Trump sparked a global market selloff after making good on his threat to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. The levies are set to take effect tomorrow barring a last-minute deal in Trump’s calls with leaders of Canada and Mexico today. And there’s more to come: The European Union is next on his tariff list. The EU has vowed to “respond firmly” if that does happen.
