Stocks fall on Trump's auto tariffs, China bucks the trend

SYDNEY (Reuters) -Global stocks fell on Thursday, led by heavy losses in Japan and South Korea, after U.S. President Donald Trump announced new tariffs on auto imports, with European stock futures also pointing to a lower open. Trump late on Wednesday announced plans for long-promised 25% tariffs on automotive imports. Analysts expect the move to hit European, Japanese and South Korean companies at most.
