Trump tariffs They are officially initiated and they include 104% fees in Chinese imports.
Despite the increase in economists and CEOs expressed, Trump management officials were stubborn in defending trade policy. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent CNBC wanted to discuss the deals with about 70 countries with a white house on Tuesday, trade adviser Peter Navarro, said the tariffs were not discussed. (Deals are not discussed, the form of negotiations is probably controversial.)
However, at least one member of Trump Cadre does not look very satisfied with tariffs. Elon Musk, in the absence of the White House’s trade policy, Navarro – the best trading advisor of the management – “Moron” and “Dangerous Dumb”. Musk is a Dege Doge leader who plays a key role in Trump. He is also a CEO of a multinational company Tesla.
Given how the White House officials still defend for tariffs, the people of Navarro are likely to stop the wound in global trade.
