On a rare visit to Panama, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth secured new commitments from the Central American country but left some Panamanian officials wondering if they were enough to mollify Trump, who has vowed to “take back” the country’s canal. https://t.co/3ZXFeBC4ro

The about-face in the expanding trade war jolted investors who had previously been fleeing for the sidelines. The tech-heavy Nasdaq roared ahead 12%, its best day in 24 years. The S&P 500 added 9.5%, the biggest gain since 2008. The Dow moved ahead 7.9%. https://t.co/fNpQpxG306

Trump was playing five-dimensional chess all along, the administration insists, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt accusing reporters of having “failed to see what President Trump is doing here." https://t.co/HoY8Hx6hrp

“I’m telling you, these countries are calling us up, kissing my ass,” Trump says. "They are dying to make a deal. ‘Please, please, Sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything.'" Meanwhile, the market collapse continues and recession looms. https://t.co/xWGJXNj84W

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said he thinks a recession is a likely outcome from President Trump’s tariffs. Asked on Fox Business Wednesday morning if he expects a recession, he said, “I am going to defer to my economists at this point but I think probably.” https://t.co/KGIxPgnKAI

Global markets convulsed as sweeping new U.S. tariffs went into effect and China retaliated, setting up Wall Street for another tense session. https://t.co/uuFwI5PgoS

Argentine President Javier Milei drew close to Trump, which might have paid off with a new IMF loan. Argentina is paving way toward the lifting of capital & currency controls that stifle investments. Is an economic, free trade opening in the offing? https://t.co/0s55xjXtyB @WSJ

The International Monetary Fund agreed to provide Argentina with a new multibillion-dollar loan for which President Javier Milei had lobbied Trump administration officials in an effort to boost his nation’s free-market overhaul. https://t.co/wwiQaZKSmA

Trump’s threat to escalate his tariff assault on China by a big margin all but rules out any near-term negotiations. Senior Chinese officials have for months tried to engage the administration in meetings with little luck, @WSJ has reported. https://t.co/SYfs4wuhFP

With markets tanking, just how many Americans own stocks? More than 60% of Americans have money in the market, according to Gallup, up from 50% a decade ago. Two thirds of middle-income Americans were invested through some combination of stocks or funds. https://t.co/KKPMiBxy8B

President Trump’s first round of tariffs and trade threats threw Mexico onto the defensive. Now that Trump is aiming at the rest of the world, Mexico has an edge over rival manufacturing hubs. https://t.co/Z96dRhpfvm

Since the tariff blitz isn't based on the tariffs other countries charge the U.S., President Trump’s new levies charge other countries more than what they charge America. And being an ally didn't make any difference. @WSJ on the calculations and the upshot https://t.co/JaV0TqEAFj

DETROIT—If President Trump’s trade war has a physical battleground, it is Michigan, where companies and workers are already feeling the beginning of an onslaught that could blow a hole in the state’s economy. https://t.co/QNKS8LSEIF via @WSJ

WASHINGTON—And it’s only been 78 days. No American president has disrupted so many aspects of the nation’s daily life as President Trump has in less than three months in office. https://t.co/UCsxDShFtI
