European stocks dropped after US President Donald Trump said he would impose 25% tariffs on imports from the European Union. The Stoxx 600 index fell 0.5%, with the retail, tech and auto sectors falling the most. Trump gave contradictory statements Wednesday on the implementation of tariffs, keeping investors guessing. A White House official said the European levies could affect all exports from the block or only specific sectors. Nvidia, the chipmaker at the center of an AI spending boom, is in focus after it delivered good-but-not-great earnings Wednesday, drawing a muted response from investors accustomed to blowout numbers.
