Apple sheds $700 billion as Microsoft regains the world's most valuable company title — amid President Trump's steep tariffs on Chinese imports

Apple Store in Bangkok, Thailand.

Apple is no longer the most valuable company in the world; Microsoft is, following the rollout of President Donald J. Trump's imposed tariff on imports from over 60 countries (via CNBC).
