Welcome to Today’s Business Brief. President Trump’s trade war has, in the words of The New York Times, created “chaos for companies around the world,” snarling supply chains and sowing uncertainty. After slapping 20 percent tariffs on most European imports and threatening more elsewhere, the administration has scaled the rate back to 10 percent until July, saying it will use the pause to “negotiate bilateral deals.” At the same time, an escalating trade battle with China threatens to squeeze European firms even further.
