MILAN (Reuters) - European stock futures plunged on Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled more tariffs on trading partners, intensifying a global trade war that threatens to stoke inflation and stall growth.

EuroSTOXX50 and DAX futures both fell around 2.3% by 0658 GMT, while FTSE 100 futures were down around 1.7%.
