The United States' "reciprocal tariff" policy is impacting global stock markets, with former President Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris openly criticizing the current President Trump’s administration. Obama called on Americans to take action for social justice at Hamilton College, condemning the Trump administration's policies as contrary to American values. Harris stated that society is currently filled with a sense of fear and expressed concerns about political pressure. She emphasized the importance of courage, urging people to speak out bravely, indicating that the Democratic Party's concerns about Trump's administration have reached the stage of open confrontation.

The United States' "reciprocal tariff" policy has negatively impacted global stock markets. Former President Obama and former Vice President Kamala Harris delivered rare statements on the same day, strongly criticizing current President Trump for various policies since his second term began. Obama urged Americans to "make some sacrifices."

According to foreign media reports, Obama strongly criticized the Trump administration's policies of reshaping the federal system, suppressing immigration, and curbing media freedom during a public interview at Hamilton College in New York. He sarcastically remarked, "If I had done these things back in the day, those who are silent now would have attacked me long ago." He also condemned the White House for pressuring law firms and universities, stating that this completely contradicts America's fundamental values and constitutional principles.

Obama expressed that many people throughout their lives claim to be progressives, supporting social justice or freedom of speech, but very few actually pay a price for it. He suggested that mere verbal support is no longer enough at this moment; people might really need to take action, even make sacrifices.

Kamal Harris stated at the "Defining High Summit for Women Leaders" that a series of actions by Trump upon his return to the White House was "entirely predictable." She pointed out the existing sense of fear within American society, which has caused many organizations to choose silence, while some individuals succumb to obviously unconstitutional political pressure, emphasizing that this fear is spreading.

At this point, political tensions emerged, with Trump claiming to have reached an agreement with the law firm where Harris's husband works, stating that the firm would provide at least $100 million in pro bono legal services during his second term, raising questions about whether the White House is exerting pressure on specific law firms using its power. Harris's husband also spoke out, pointing out that "the rule of law and democracy are under attack."

Finally, Harris emphasized that "fear is contagious, but so is courage," calling on the American people to hold on to their beliefs and speak out courageously. This marks Harris's most direct and clear comment since Trump commenced his second term, indicating that the Democratic leadership's concerns over Trump's governance direction have entered a phase of public confrontation.
