In a recent interview, Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo confronted President Trump about his shifting tariff policies, expressing concerns from CEOs who seek predictability amidst changing rates. While traditionally supportive of Trump, Bartiromo stressed the necessity for clarity, especially for those managing corporate investments. Trump's response indicated a willingness to discuss future tariffs but also suggested potential increases. This public questioning marked a notable shift in Bartiromo's typically pro-Trump narrative.
I did it because I could. I put an amendment in there. And I said in six years, I can change it. But I think CEOs want to see predictability.
For years the globalists, the big globalists, have been ripping off the United States. They've been taking money away from the United States. And all we're doing is getting some of it back.
...I can't if it's 20% one day and then it's off for a month and it's 25%. So can you give us a sense of whether or not we are going to get clarity for the business community?
Well, I think so, Trump replied. But you know, the tariffs could go up as time goes by and they may go up.
