U.S. stocks fell after President Donald Trump threatened 50%
tariffs on the European Union that could begin in a little more
than a week.
The S&P 500 lost 0.7% Friday and had its worst week in the last
seven. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.6%, and the
Nasdaq composite sank 1%.
The losses were sharper in Europe after Trump said trade talks
were going nowhere. Apple dropped after Trump threatened a 25%
tariff on smart phones made outside the United States. U.S.
stocks pared their loss through the day as traders weighed
whether Trump’s latest threats were just negotiating tactics.

The S&P 500 fell 39.19 points, or 0.7%, to 5,802.82.
