Trump Pulls the Strings Again

Marketscreener
About this episode

On Memorial Day weekend, while most Americans were grilling burgers or remembering the fallen, Donald Trump was resetting the thermostat on global trade tensions. Again. In a now-familiar pattern - provoke, threaten, retreat - the former president walked back his threat to slam the European Union with a 50% tariff on imports, opting instead for a July 9 deadline. Markets, weary but obedient, rallied in relief.
