Global Markets Plummet After Trump Announces New Tariff Hike

Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

The Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 800 points as investors reacted to President Trump’s announcement of global tariffs. The sell-off was triggered by Trump’s threat to impose 15% tariffs on goods from countries around the world.

In response, the European Union has put its trade deal with the US on hold. The EU had been working towards a new agreement with the US, but Trump’s tariff hike has stalled those efforts.

Congressional Democrats are seeking to force refunds for tariffs that were imposed earlier this year. The Supreme Court ruled that some of these tariffs were illegal, and the US will no longer collect them starting Tuesday.

The news comes as investors continue to weigh the impact of Trump’s trade policies on the global economy.
