It’s approaching 09:00 in Washington DC and US President Donald Trump has made his first comments since 10% levies on some countries have come into effect.
China has been hit much harder than the USA, not even close. They, and many other nations, have treated us unsustainably badly,” he writes in a post on his Truth Social platform. “We have been the dumb and helpless ‘whipping post’, but not any longer.”
The president then says the administration is “bringing back jobs and businesses like never before,” before declaring: “THIS IS AN ECONOMIC REVOLUTION, AND WE WILL WIN. HANG TOUGH, it won’t be easy, but the end result will be historic.”
