05.04.2025Day Trump's Tariffs Rattle Russia While Border Protests Intensify
Trump's 10% tariffs on most global imports took effect at midnight, with afternoon reports indicating they "severely hit Russia" with "billions of dollars evaporating." This development appears particularly significant given Russia's puzzling exclusion from the previous day's EU-targeted tariffs.

Border tensions emerged as a dominant theme, with migrants attempting illegal crossings captured on video while protesters gathered in Gubin demanding "Stop flooding Poland with migrants from Germany." Nawrocki, a presidential candidate, signed pledges to Polish farmers opposing the Mercosur trade agreement, calling it "a new Nord Stream 2 for food production."

Zelensky criticized US reluctance to even use the word "Russian" in statements, while Poland's Justice Minister Bodnar faced continued criticism over the Cyba release affair. Reports of vandalism at WOŚP founder Jerzy Owsiak's home emerged by evening, as severe April snowstorms swept across the country.
