‘Pay Tariffs or Stop Doing Business with Us’: Trump Dares Nations, Shrugs Off Market Crash | Details [Video]

‘Pay Tariffs or Stop Doing Business with Us’: Trump Dares Nations, Shrugs Off Market Crash | Details

Donald Trump has defended his sweeping new tariffs, urging countries unhappy with U.S. trade levies to stop doing business altogether. Calling the tariffs “appropriate,” Trump brushed aside stock market dips and claimed his policies were making America “strong.” While pausing new duties for 90 days—except for China—he insisted that a 10% tariff would be the new baseline. Trump also boasted about global reliance on the U.S. dollar and said foreign governments were desperate to negotiate. Markets saw some rebound after his walk-back announcement on baseline tariffs. #DonaldTrump #USTariffs #TradeWar #GlobalTrade #USChina #TruthSocial #StockMarketCrash #ReciprocalTariffs #AmericaFirst #TariffPolicy #EconomicNews #TrumpSpeech #ForeignPolicy #USPolitics #DollarDominance #ChinaTariffs #GlobalEconomy #BreakingNews #TradeTalks #WhiteHouse Also Read US President Trump Is Now A Comic Book Villain In Canada, Elon Musk Is His Sidekick :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-is-now-a-comic-book-villain-in-canada-elon-musk-is-his-sidekick-4120951.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Isolate China Strategy Using Treasury Bonds And Sparking Market Turmoil :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trumps-isolate-china-strategy-using-treasury-bonds-and-sparking-market-turmoil-4120223.html?ref=DMDesc India Seeks Swift Trade Deal With US As Trump Pauses Tariffs For Several Nations: Report :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-seeks-swift-trade-deal-with-us-as-trump-pauses-tariffs-for-several-nations-report-4120197.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.336~

“Crazy Uncle Elon”: Trump Officials Reportedly Fed Up with Elon Musk’s ‘Irritating’ Antics

Elon Musk’s role in Trump’s administration is reportedly causing chaos behind closed doors. According to a Rolling Stone exposé, senior Trump officials describe Musk as insufferable, unfunny, and disruptive in key meetings—prompting walkouts and mockery. One official said Musk believes he’s “smarter than everyone,” while another called him “the most irritating person” they’ve dealt with. His erratic behavior has sparked rumors of possible substance abuse.
