Fears of a global trade war escalated as the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 1.2% on Tuesday, wiping out a staggering $1.3 trillion in market value. The sudden drop was triggered by Donald Trump's announcement of a vague 'morally binding' AI deal among the heads of the largest US tech and AI companies.
