Trump vows to stick to his tariff plan
It hasn't taken long for the doubters in the Republican party in the US to start voicing their concerns about Donald Trump's world tariff war. As they see their invstments plummet in value, it's hardly surprising that even Trump supporters are beginnning to worry that the president has an obsession rather than a policy. But it seems nothing will sway Trump from his course of action. He seems to believe that at some point in the future - who knows when? - the benefits from the tariff war will start to bring benefits for the US economy and for the American people. He better be right because the reason, or one of the main reasons, why millions voted for him and not for Kamala Harris was because he promised to make America great again and that, to them, meant the economy up and the cost of living down. So far it has been the opposite. Growth in the economny has stagnated and the cost of living rises every day. How long will everyone's patience last? Trump doesn't seem remotely bothered. He has said he is enjoying what's going on and doesn't mind about the stock market dropping faster than a malfunctioning rocket. And everyone in the White House, from the press secretary to Trump's economic advisers, are pushing the same line, that all will come right in the end. It doesn't look very hopeful so far.
