Trump calls “medicine” rates as further turbulence injected into global markets
The president of the United States Donald Trump warned foreign governments that would have to pay “a lot of money” to raise radical rates, characterizing duties as “medicine” and triggering further carnage through global financial markets on Monday.
Asian actions sank through the Board of Directors and the future of the US equity market swarmed abruptly when investors feared that Trump rates could lead to higher prices, weaker demand and potentially a global recession.
Speaking with journalists aboard the Air Force One on Sunday, Trump indicated that he was not worried about the losses that have already swept via trillion dollars of value by equity markets all over the world.
“I don’t want anything to go down. But sometimes you have to take medicines to repair something,” he said while returning from a weekend of Golf to Florida.
Trump said he talked to Europe and Asia with a leader during the weekend, who hope to convince him to reduce rates up to 50 % due to having effect this week.
“They are coming to the table. They want to speak but there are no speeches if they don’t pay us a lot of money on an annual basis,” said Trump.

“Trump does not try to arrest the stock market,” says the head of the White House
President Donald Trump is not intentionally trying to arrest the stock market, said the director of the National Economic Council of the White House Kevin Hassett.
Speaking of this week of the ABC on Sunday, Hassett said that the collapse of the stock market following the tariff announcement of Mr. Trump is not “a strategy”.
It was questioned in this regard after Trump shared a video on the social media platform that said the president was causing markets as part of a wider economic plan.
Hassett insisted: “He is not trying to tanneck the market. He is trying to deliver for American workers. It is not a strategy that the markets crash.”

The tariff measures of the President of the United States Donald Trump could slow down the economic growth of the euro area of everywhere between 0.5 and 1 percentage, said the governor of the Greek central bank Yannis Stournaras.
The comments of Mr. Stournaras arrive against the background of the countries of the European Union which weighs the approval of a first series of targeted countermeasures up to $ 28 billion of US imports, covering products ranging from dental to diamonds in the next few days.
The 27 nations block must face the import rates of 25 % on steel and aluminum and cars and “mutual” rates of 20 % from Wednesday for almost all others well. In an interview with the Financial timesStournaras warned that the looming risk of global commercial war has triggered a great “shock of negative demand” in the euro area that could weigh heavily on the economic growth of Europe.
“A remarkable negative impact on growth could lead to being much weaker than expected, dragging inflation under our goals,” he said.
