It’s shaping up to be a high-stakes game of economic chess 🏁. Major economies worldwide are pushing back against recent US tariff hikes, with China leading the charge by slapping 34% additional tariffs on all American imports starting April 10. The move comes after Washington ramped up trade barriers earlier this month.

Here’s the tea 🍵:

What comes next? Trade negotiations are heating up faster than TikTok trends—and the world’s watching. 🔥
