'Dirty Tariff Games' Played By Trump? Elon Musk Makes $36 Billions Moments After Tariff Pause

'125% Tariff On China': Trump's Non-Stop Attack After 84% Tariff Retaliation By Beijing | Details

China-US Tariff War: President Donald Trump has declared a 90-day pause on all new "reciprocal" tariffs, excluding China, which now faces a 125% levy. The decision triggered a massive rally on Wall Street, with the S&P 500 seeing its best day since 2008. Trump emphasized the need to avoid hurting friendly nations. However, economists remain cautious—Goldman Sachs warns of a 45% chance of a U.S. recession. Despite market optimism, analysts suggest the pause may not fully counteract the economic turbulence sparked by the ongoing global trade war. #TrumpTariffs #TradeWar #USChina #RecessionFears #WallStreet #TariffPause #NasdaqRally #S&P500 #GlobalMarkets #Economy2025 #GoldmanSachs #JoeBrusuelas #USPolicy #FinancialMarkets #AsiaMarkets #MarketRally #TrumpSpeech #GlobalTrade #ChinaTariffs #ReciprocalTariffs ~HT.178~ED.346~GR.122~

Trump Erupts in Fury at Fed Chair Powell, Demands His Termination Over ‘Complete Mess’ Reports [Video]

Trump Erupts in Fury at Fed Chair Powell, Demands His Termination Over ‘Complete Mess’ Reports

Trump has launched a fiery attack on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, calling for his immediate termination after slamming the Fed’s latest economic report as a “complete mess.” Trump accused Powell of being “too late and wrong” on interest rate policy and compared him unfavorably to the European Central Bank, which just issued its seventh rate cut in a year. The outburst follows Powell’s stark warning that Trump’s sweeping tariffs could drive the U.S. into stagflation. With Powell’s term running through 2026 and legal protections in place, Trump’s demand has ignited a constitutional debate over presidential power and the independence of America’s central bank. #TrumpVsPowell #JeromePowell #FedChair #TrumpTweets #JayPowell #TrumpNews #TrumpBlastFed #FederalReserve #TrumpEconomicPolicy #TrumpAdministration #PowellNews #TrumpTwitter #USFedChair #TrumpTradePolicy #Trump ~PR.152~HT.410~GR.124~
