Tariffs on major trading partners including China, EU, UK, and others are likely to increase costs for US tech companies with global supply chains, potentially pressuring NDX in the near term.

Proposed tariffs of 10-12.5% on imports from major partners could disproportionately impact smaller companies in the Russell 2000 that rely on international trade.

Mike Pompeo

The President has used tariffs to try and achieve objectives. That's a legitimate use of America's power to tax. When you think other nations are not behaving in a way that is consistent with the things that matter to your citizens, hopefully you'll set out clearly: this is the expectation, this is the behavior we're trying to achieve. When you do that, you remove the tariff and countries go compete.
