    President Donald Trump criticized China on Friday, saying it "played it wrong" and "panicked", after China announced retaliatory tariffs which sent U.S. stock markets tumbling. The Dow closed down 2,200 points on Friday, with the S&P dropping 6% and the Nasdaq falling 5.8%. This rapid rate decline put the stock market at risk of triggering a circuit breaker, which would temporarily pause market-wide trading. In 2020, it was triggered four times at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
