Trump Media stock, trading under the ticker DJT, slid Thursday after President Donald Trump announced fresh global tariffs on imported goods.
Trump Media, the company behind the social-media platform Truth Social, had been seen largely seen as a proxy for the chances of Trump returning to the White House and it has struggled since his victory was confirmed.
The shares fell 2.2% to $18.35 while futures tracking the benchmark S&P 500 index dropped 3%.
Trump Media stock has been extending losses from Wednesday when it filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to allow a trust headed by Trump to sell $2.15 billion worth of stock, but saying that it has no plans currently to do so.
The business has been operating with large losses since going public in March last year. The stock is down substantially from levels seen in the days leading up to the Nov. 5 election when it traded around $40.
