US stock indexes fell sharply because of threats to China's US President Donald Trump, according to market data released Friday.

Washington – Sputnik. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by 1.3%, the S & P 500 Index by 1.42% and the Nasdaq High Tech Index by 1.63%.

US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he was responding to China's tariffs.

Trump posted several angry tweets on his official Twitter account on Friday after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell spoke about the trade war with China and economic risks for the United States.

Trump asked if the person he had appointed to head the central bank was a bigger "enemy" than Chinese President Xi Jinping.

"As usual, the Fed has done nothing! … My question is who is our biggest enemy, Jay Powell or President Xi?" Said Trump on Twitter.
