The White House wants Americans to trust President Donald Trump’s plan as economic uncertainty looms around the massive tariffs Trump imposed on nearly every country in the world on Wednesday.
Stocks tumbled after the opening bell Thursday morning as Wall Street anxiously awaits to see if Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs will turn into a full-blown trade war. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said during an interview on CNN that Americans should trust the president’s “economic formula.”
