Mon Apr 07 13:40:00 UTC 2025: ## European Markets Plunge on Trump Tariff Fears
**London/Frankfurt** – European stock markets experienced a dramatic plunge on Monday, fueled by a global sell-off triggered by US President Donald Trump’s imposition of tariffs. Frankfurt’s DAX index suffered the steepest losses, falling as much as 10 percent. Other major European markets also experienced significant declines, with Paris down over 6 percent, London nearly 6 percent, Amsterdam and Oslo over 5 percent, and Milan more than 3 percent. The widespread sell-off reflects growing concerns about the escalating trade war and its impact on global economic growth.
