During a segment with CNN anchor Brianna Keilar, Rep. Dan Meuser defended President Trump's economic policies and downplayed the significance of tariffs on the economy, claiming their effects are largely perceived rather than real. Keilar challenged him on inconsistencies between his claims and market reactions, highlighting the consequences of tariffs amid trade negotiations with China. Despite Meuser's assertions that inflation remains low and tariffs have yet to fully take effect, Keilar pointed out that the economic uncertainty has already led to significant market declines and public concern.
Trump's treasury secretary stated that the president is creating strategic uncertainty, which has caused the stock market to experience significant downturns, further complicating economic stability.
Meuser contended that the perceived impacts of Trump's tariffs have not resulted in any inflation thus far, though he acknowledged the tariffsâ role in market sell-offs.
