TRUMP'S TARIFF PAUSE Leaves China ISOLATED | Ep 429

Kevin Hassett is the Director of the National Economic Council, on today's show he walks us through everything that happened this week with respect to tariffs and the U.S. economy. As country after country lined-up to make a deal with President Trump, the president put a pause on all tariffs except China. President Trump has now raised the tariffs to 145% in relation to China. Essentially isolating China with the most extreme tariffs set the stage for other countries to decide how they wanted to respond. Hassett says 15 countries or more will come away with a good deal in the coming days and weeks. The turmoil in the bond market settled as the president called for the pause and new treasury bonds were very successfully auctioned off. Hassett walks us down Main St. for American consumers and small business owner as to what they can expect to pay for goods.
