“Do you suppose it’s Donald Trump’s financial system now?” CNN’s Kasie Hunt requested him.
“Oh, I believe it’s,” Kennedy replied. “There’s no query. I believe as soon as he determined so as to add the tariffs, clearly, I imply, he can be held accountable ― as he ought to ― whether or not it seems good or it seems badly.”
The quick time period of Trump’s aggressive taxes has been disastrous. Kennedy referred to as it “painful” in his CNN interview. Markets reached historic lows after Trump imposed blanket international tariffs and threatened bigger ones to ratchet up a commerce conflict.
“In the long term, we’re all lifeless,” he stated. “Quick run issues, too. No one is aware of what the influence of those tariffs goes to be on the financial system.”
