Trump's Unwavering Stance on Trade Policies

In a revealing interview with The Atlantic, President Donald Trump dismissed the idea that any specific market downturn or economic indicator would lead him to adjust his trade policies. Despite speculation among Wall Street analysts that financial instability might prompt a policy shift, Trump emphasized his commitment to his current course.

"It always affects you a little bit," Trump admitted, "but there's no red line, no 'certain number' at which he would feel compelled to change course." This statement underscores his determination to maintain his trade policies, regardless of market fluctuations.
