Amid Stock Markets Crash, Trump Says No Pause on Tariffs, But Open to Negotiations
Undeterred by a stock market collapse, Trump said he would not consider a pause on tariffs that have threatened the global economy. Watch US President Donald Trump on Monday threatened fresh tariffs of 50 percent on China and ruled out any pause in his aggressive new global trade policy, despite a dramatic market sell-off. Trump upended the world economy last week with sweeping tariffs that have raised fears of an international recession and triggered criticism even from within his own Republican Party.
