Wall Street falls as tariff jitters grip markets
Wall Street's main indexes fell on Wednesday as investors worried about the potential impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs on the global economy, corporate earnings and inflation. Details of Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff plans were still being formulated and closely held ahead of a White House Rose Garden announcement ceremony scheduled for 4 p.m. ET (2000 GMT). Trump has said that his reciprocal tariffs aim to equalize the comparatively lower U.S. tariff rates with those imposed by other nations.
