U.S. stocks sunk Thursday just moments after President Trump announced new, steep tariffs on steel and aluminum to be imposed next week.
The announcement sent the Dow Jones industrial average down as much as 580 points, more than 2 percent, shortly after 2 p.m. The Nasdaq and the Standard & Poore’s 500 index also fell roughly 1.8 percent each.
