Trump's Unwavering Stance on Trade Policies

In a revealing interview with The Atlantic, President Donald Trump made it clear that no specific market indicator would sway his trade policy decisions. Despite the looming threat of a recession and the advice of Wall Street analysts, Trump remains steadfast in his approach.

No "Certain Number" to Prompt Policy Change

Trump explicitly stated, "It always affects you a little bit," but emphasized there's no "certain number" or red line that would compel him to alter his tariff policies. This declaration comes amidst growing concerns over financial turmoil and its potential impact on the economy.

A Controversial Interview

The interview, conducted by Jeffrey Goldberg, The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, was agreed upon by Trump "out of curiosity". This follows previous controversies involving The Atlantic and criticism from US security officials regarding the reporter's inclusion in a Signal group chat about Yemen military operations.
