U.S. President Donald Trump's latest wave of tariffs on exports from dozens of trading partners, including Canada, Brazil, India and Taiwan, sent global stock markets down on Friday as countries pushed for talks to clinch better deals.

President Trump’s announcement of a planned 50% tariff on all Brazilian imports has sent shock waves through the U.S. coffee industry. The proposed trade action would significantly impact coffee supplies, as Brazil currently provides approximately 30% of all coffee imported into the United States.
