SYDNEY: Asian shares skidded with Wall Street on Thursday while the dollar hovered near a three-week high after U.S. President Donald Trump announced new tariffs on all auto imports, ratcheting up a global trade war that risks fuelling inflation.
Japan's Nikkei fell 1.2%, led by heavy losses in automakers. Toyota Motor shares tumbled 3.4%, and both Mazda Motor and Subaru plunged about 6%.
