    In today’s episode, Reverend Al Sharpton discusses the significant market volatility this week, as Trump's trade wars impact the American economy. Late last night, the administration announced exemptions for phones, computers, and chips from new tariffs, despite a recent 145 percent tariff on products from China. Some companies are imposing surcharges on imported goods, and Amazon's CEO has warned of rising prices. Meanwhile, legal battles continue over Trump’s agenda, with the Supreme Court indicating its stance on how much oversight it may impose on the president.

    On today's episode of Politics Nation, Reverend Al Sharpton discusses the upcoming reopening of global stock markets after a historic sell-off triggered by President Trump's "liberation day" tariff announcement last week. World leaders are working urgently to mitigate the impact of these tariffs. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will visit the White House tomorrow in an attempt to persuade the administration to reverse its 17 percent tariff on Israel. Meanwhile, political resistance to the Trump administration is growing domestically, with tens of thousands of Americans participating in "hands off" demonstrations across the country. These protests are aimed at opposing trade wars, mass deportations, and attacks on civil rights.

    President Trump is golfing in Florida this weekend, following the initiation of a trade war that caused stock markets to plunge, resulting in the most significant two-day market decline in history. The actual economic impact of Trump's tariffs on both allies and adversaries will take months, if not years, to fully assess. China has announced a retaliatory tariff of 34 percent on U.S. imports. Trump's self-styled "Tariff Liberation Day" has contributed to the chaos of his second term, and his opponents are protesting this weekend with "Hands Off" demonstrations against government staffing cuts, mass deportations, and the administration's ongoing dismantling of civil rights protections for all Americans.
